I fully agree with that statment. I bet the 55 Chevy hood ornament would have looked amazing.

Can you just picture this on an HHR?

I think it looks just fine, no problem with a Ford ornament on a Chevy. Folks used to swap ornaments back in the day, not too uncommon to see a Chevy hood rocket on an Olds, or Chief Pontiac gracing a Mercury. For those who don't remember the light up Pontiac ornaments here's a selection from the '50s.
