Sonia Dealunay was the designer of the above, with famed illustrator Georges Lepape, to showcase on the cover of the Jan 1925 Vogue the ‘Simultaneous’ dress, next to a ‘Simultaneous’ car, January 1925 and below. The above hood ornament appears to be Avoin Viosin, but the car below was a Citroen.
Most noteable and prestigiously, Sonia Delaunay was the first woman ever to have an exhibition at the Louvre during her lifetime.

update 2017
A Delaunay-decorated car is the equivalent of a master painting. Fashion doesn't enter it. By now, her worked-over vehicles are worth far more than unadorned cars.
