Eagle Mascots. The bald eagle is the national bird for the United States of America, so it is not surprising that American cars such as the Chevrolet have designed car mascots in the form of eagles. However, Lalique has also designed eagle mascots, in particular the Tete d’Aigle which translates to eagle head.
Below are some examples and price guides of eagle car mascots including a polished bronze mascot from the 1930’s and a Chevrolet hood ornament.
