Can anyone identify this hood ornament?

This is not a hood ornament -- it's a figure for a trophy of some sort. Hood
ornaments of that period were long and low. Nothing stood straight up like this
-- it would've been snapped off pretty rapidly. The Dodge, Inc. mentioned was at
one time the world's largest trophy manufacturer. They had factories in Chicago,
L.A., New York, and elsewhere in the late '40s. The following link is to a data
page for 1946.
