The
image at the top of this hood ornament is the head of the god Mercury, namesake
of this brand.

At
one time, Mercury was using a heraldic display on the front of their vehicles,
but I do not have much information on this at this time. Until I have them, let me leave you with
this pair of images from a circa 1990 Mercury sedan. The first image is the hood ornament and the second is from the
hubcap. I can’t explain why they are so
unrelated, even though it appears they came this way from the factory.
