Hoods

Hoods

by Michael Goldrei

Hoods is my second self-published book, and features a collection of photos taken in Cuba in 2017 of the weird & wonderful car hood ornaments I saw there. Much has been documented on the beloved American cars from the 1940s & 50s still in use, but I focused on one particular detail of these - the captivating and sometimes strange metal statuettes (also known as 'radiator caps' and 'car mascots') found on the front of them.

A copy of Hoods can be found in the Tate Britain Reading Rooms, London
