Zusammenfassung:	A tiltable hood ornament (10) which is detachable is described. The tiltable hood ornament (10) includes a base (12) which is mounted through the hood (15) of the vehicle. An adaptor (22) is mounted onto the base (12) and held in place by a spring assembly (27) which is formed by a split pin (26) and a coil spring (28). An ornament (35) is provided with an extension portion (35B) which is encircled by a collar (30) and is mounted on the adaptor (22). The collar (30) is positioned in the adaptor (22) by a locating screw (32) which extends into a slot (22K) in the adaptor (22). The ornament (35) and collar (30) are held in place in the adaptor (22) by a detent (40). The spring assembly (27) allows the adaptor (22), collar (30) and ornament (35) to tilt in response to the application of a force. The detent (40) provides for quick release of the ornament (35) and collar (30) from the adaptor (22) in response to a vertical pulling force on the ornament (35).
