Can anyone tell me which MB model introduced the deflecting (spring-attached) three-pointed star hood ornament? I believe it first appeared sometime in the 1950s.

I've searched the MBUSA website, but can't find this specific information, only a general mention. I think I've seen a photo of it, but can't find that, either.

I need this information for a book I'm editing.

Thanks very much!
