I believe it was $7.00. I've seen them go on Ebay for over $170.00 that need to be rechromed. I bought mine as a set along with the passenger side mirror for $35.00 off a parts car back in 1989. We are lucky to have them. People were getting away from hood ornaments back in the late 50's, as they were on "the OLD cars". When I found out my car had an optional hood ornament and passenger mirror, I had to get them. They look great on the car and I have always been a fan of hood ornaments.

Subject: IML: '58 Hood Ornament
My '58 Southampton 4 door has its original hood ornament, which I have been told is rather unusual. I guess this option wasn't ordered very often. Does anyone know how much the hood ornament cost as an option in '58? I haven't been able to find this particular bit of information.
