Subject: "ducks" missing from Cadillac insignia nowadays
The other day, while sitting behind a huge Cadillac SUV, I noticed that the Cadillac coat of arms no longer has "ducks" on it. I'm old enough to remember them, and wondered what their history was. Here it is:
The ducks are actually merlettes, which is a mythical song bird, usually depicted as having no beak or feet. The merlettes were put on the Cadillac (car) crest because they were part the coat of arms of Antoine de laMothe Cadillac; French explorer who founded the city of Detroit in 1701. Cadillac (the explorer) used one set of three merlettes on his coat of arms to signify his nobility on both his father's side and mother's side; "Two in chief and one in base." The birds are also set in trios to represent the holy trinity.
Personally, I think their absence is a shame. It's like the changing of the LA insignia that used to have a cross on it.
