Is it really necessary to have the hood ornament retract? How much does that add to the car?

When I was a kid, stealing a Flying Lady from a Rolls Royce was considered the pinnacle of auto-souvenir hunting. They do not come off at all easily, or so I've been told.

We had the same thing with Mercedes stars.

Everybody who was "cool" had a stolen star on his bunch of keys.

@Klaus I actually purchased one for a few dollars from a salvage yard.
