You made me look it up, but I agree it was 50/50 on that one.

Remembering Detroit's Automotive "Golden Jubilee" in 1946

One of the most popular floats in the parade was this General Motors Buick hood ornament moving along Woodward Avenue painted in gold to the cheers of the thousands of spectators along the route. All nine GM divisions had floats. Car displays, special exhibits and events were located throughout the city. (Ferens Collection)

You can even buy a scale model of the parade float.

It's not obvious where the driver's sightline was.



Then there's the Herkimer Battle Jitney-like tractor on the Ford float.
