Vintage “Jaguar Leaper” Hood Ornament

Jaguar Leaper, a hood ornament or emblem for Jaguar cars. The Leaping Jaguar design, featuring a sleek, leaping jaguar, has been a symbol of the Jaguar brand since 1938. It represents grace, elegance, performance, and power. The leaper was initially designed by Frederick Gordon Crosby. It was removed from factory installations for safety reasons and changing tastes, but is still available as an aftermarket accessory. The material is high-quality chrome and is spring-loaded to prevent damage. The leaper can be detached from the base to prevent hood damage if someone attempts to steal it.
