Monogram 1934 Ford first issue

[DumpyDan]

I am rebuilding a Monogram 1934 Ford glue bomb, can anyone tell me if this kit came with a hood/grill ornament in the kit.  I have the Hot Rod green issue and it doesn't.  Can anyone help with info on this?  Thanks in advance.

At least one version of the kit appears to have come with a hood ornament.

FWIW, I have the first issue kit, from 1964 "flat box" and the second run of the kit (PC-119, Copyrighted 1965) which came in a box the same length and width but half the height of a modern Revell model car kit box, and there was no Greyhound hood ornament in either of those, just the standard-equipment domed radiator cap.  Of course, this kit was first done principally as a stock '34 Ford 3-window coupe with the option to do the Cabriolet (Bill's "Early Iron" street rod version).  Ford offered, as a dealer accessory, a smaller version of the Greyhound racing dog used by Lincoln, but those cars came from the factory with just  a plain chromed radiator cap.  Both of these kits had stock wire wheels, and rubber (not PVC) tires, along with the stock hubcaps.
