When you walk through a Barrett-Jackson auction, you see vehicles that catch your eye from a distance, such as lifted Chevrolet K5 Blazers or brightly colored exotics. Older cars, whether with their sheer size or their two-tone color combos, can do the same, but they offer a little bonus once you get closer to them: hood (or hood-adjacent) ornaments. The Goddess of Speed on the 1936 Packard 120 Convertible Sedan above is a great example. Below are a few more that were on display at the Barrett-Jackson 2025 Palm Beach Auction.
