Mascots collection
The mascots are the figurines that decorate the radiator caps. The encircled star of Mercedes Benz or the "Spirit of Ecstasy" of Rolls Royce are among the most famous imposed by brands. The others left free choice to the motorists until 1958. They could acquire one of thousands of models with human or animal theme, thus choosing the message that they wished to address to the other road users: between the aggressive dog asking the others to behave well and the kitten frightened, all the moods of the driver parade serious, humorous or nonchalant.
