This is the Ford Emblem on the Marsh Car I posted earlier.

Do you know what this is, Phil? beyond the very cool hood ornament? it played a very important purpose...

I would be lying if I said I knew without looking it up. Why don't you tell us since what I read may not be accurate.

I read that it used to be called a "Radiator Mascot" Something about a temperature gauge for the radiator. But I could be wrong
