One of the prettiest sights I've ever seen was the hood ornament on the truck I was driving whenever we left Calumet, OK.

That, and the '62 Chevy the drunk who picked us up was driving whenever we finally quit and were hitching our way out of Winner, SD.

Pretty much everything else that I saw between the two all looked the same through the windshield of a Massy 410.
