the elephant head hood ornament of Latil


Between 1898 and 1955, France’s Latil specialized in the manufacture of heavy trucks, tractors and buses, and capped many of them with this Art Deco elephant’s head in the 1920s.

 Latil’s cap was designed by Frederick Bazin, who also sculpted the stork that appeared on Hispano-Suiza’s cars.
