Hood Ornament

I’ve been unable to locate a hood ornament for my 37 Hudson.  Does anyone know if any other Hudson or other makes ornaments fit it?   I know it’s not ideal but at this point I really don’t care, I’m not going without one anymore!

    Not sure if anyone makes them anymore (though someone should)
    There are a handful floating around in private hands . If I’m not mistaken this is the red rocket ornament correct?(im a stepdown guy)
    best of luck

    His car is a Hudson, not a Terraplane, so the hood ornament is a red plastic "wing"  (not a zeppelin) on a chrome base. The wing is similar in shape to the Citroen above.

    Here’s what the Hudson hood ornament  looks like;  


    Here’s the Terraplane hood ornament; 


    I’d take either I could find!  The Citroen ornament in the picture would make a nice replacement especially with its similar wing.  The hardest part is finding something that can fit the curvature.
