Classic American Cars Christmas Ornaments

If you love classic cars such as the T-Bird, 57 Corvette or the Ford Model T then you can show your passion off by adorning your Christmas tree with some of the amazing classic American car Christmas ornaments that are available.

These Christmas ornaments also make great gift ideas for car enthusiasts, I know it’s the only classic car I can afford to get for my hubby!!

There are quite a few to choose from, so let’s take a look at some of them –

1919 Ford Model-T Christmas Ornament

A Classic American Car Christmas Ornament

Henry Fords classic Ford Model-T could be brought in any color you wanted as long as it was black!

This classic car started the assembly line process and the idea that a car could be affordable for people to own………I wonder if he could have imagined the two car households which seem to be the norm today?

 

1919 Ford Model-T

 

This beautifully detailed replica of the Ford Model T will be a great addition to any Christmas tree and you’ll even find that the wheels turn!

1931 Ford Model A Roadster Christmas Ornament

Another classic Ford was the 1931 Ford Model A Roadster and this Christmas ornament is a great replica to hang on a collector’s tree.

1955 Ford Thunderbird Christmas Ornament

A 1955 classic is the Ford Thunderbird represented in this Christmas ornament. Known affectionally as the T-Bird this classic car always appears at any classic car show.

When I see a Ford Thunderbird I’m always reminded of the Beachboys classic – Fun, Fun, Fun……you must know the line I’m talking about ‘…..she’ll have fun, fun, fun til her daddy takes the t-bird away…’

1956 Ford Thunderbird Christmas Ornament

The 1956 T-Bird makes a great Christmas ornament for any car collector. The second version of the Ford Thunderbird pops up quite often in pop culture – Suzanne Somers drives a white 1956 Ford Thunderbird in the 1973 movie classic American Graffiti.

1957 Corvette Christmas Ornament

Now I’ll let you into a little secret, I’m not really into cars very much – classic or otherwise, but I would love a red corvette like this Christmas ornament, mind you if Tom Cruise can only get a 1958 Corvette I very much doubt I’ll be able to own a 57 one!!!!

Not only would this be a great gift for a classic car enthusiast it’s also a ‘different’ gift for a Prince fan in honor of his hit Little Red Corvette (sometimes the best gifts come from thinking outside of the box!)

1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Christmas Ornament

The long sleek shape of the Ford Fairline is a classic – it’s actually the first hard top convertible that seemed to work. 1957 was also a great year for Ford as a company as it outsold Chevrolet for the first time in decades so this car Christmas ornament is not just great for classic car buffs, but also for Ford supporters (such as my hubby).

1959 Cadillac De Ville Christmas Ornament

Now if you’re going to have a Cadillac then pop culture dictates it has to be pink! Think Elvis, Springsteen, Aretha Franklin and many more!!!! This pink Cadillac Christmas ornament would look great on anyones Christmas tree.

The Cadillac De Ville became Cadillac’s most popular model by 1961 and is mentioned in several songs from Eddie Cochran to Meatloaf and Kings of Leon.

1963 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster Christmas Ornament

 

Another Ford Thunderbird that has acquired a reputation as one of the soundest classic car investments. Ford produced 455 of these models in 1963 in an attempt to bring back the two seat T-Bird.

If you know someone who favors the 63 T-Bird Roadster then this Christmas ornament is a definite must have for them.

1964 Pontiac® GTO Christmas Ornament

The 1964 Pontiac GTO was the pioneer of the muscle car and so is extremely popular with a lot of classic American car buffs and even just people who appreciate cars and car history. This Pontiac Christmas ornament would be a great gift idea for any ‘rev head’ who likes their muscle cars as well as a classic car buff.

1968 Pontiac Firebird Christmas Ornament

The classic Pontiac Firebird is available in two different colors as a Christmas ornament. The original Hallmark ornament was produced in a turquoise color, but a later version was released as a ‘repainted’ Pontiac Firebird in white.

I think the white Pontiac with the trim looks better on a Christmas tree, but if you like your Firebird turquoise then you have the choice………or you could buy both!

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Christmas Ornament

For some reason this is one of my hubby’s favorite classic cars and if he ever sees one then I always worry that he’ll crash our car as he ogles it!!!! It seems like a great idea to get this Camaro Christmas ornament for him as I certainly can’t afford to buy him the real thing at the moment.

Chicago Bears Christmas Ornaments

I think the first time I ever heard of American Football was in 1986 when the Chicago Bears won the Super Bowl.   I grew up in the UK so it hadn’t been part of our culture, but that year it seemed everywhere I looked people were talking about the Bears and the Fridge aka William “Refrigerator” Perry.   I watch footy fairly regularly these days and although I’m not an avid Chicago Bears fan I do think of them fondly as the first footy jersey I ever wore was one of theirs after the ’86 win.

If you’re a fan of the Bears (old and new!) then you have probably already seen that they do Christmas ornaments, but have you realized how many there are available?   You can easily buy enough of these Chicago Bear Christmas Ornaments to decorate your whole tree so why not show the world your team colors in style?

What about your very own Chicago Bears tree?

NFL Chicago Bears Christmas TreeIf you live in a divided house, or have family who don’t think that their Christmas tree should be covered in these ‘fan’tastic ornaments then you can always get your own tabletop NFL Chicago Bears Christmas Tree.

Now I haven’t actually seen this tree in real life, but we did get another team’s tree for a colleague a few years ago that he brought out on his desk in the lead up to Christmas every year since. It was a great gift idea that he really appreciated and as his wife was not a sports fan it kept him happy enough to have his own tree while she could decorate the family tree with more ‘traditional’ ornaments!

However you choose to incorporate the Bears into your holiday season I hope you have a very festive Christmas this year.   If you want to concede to another family members footy tastes, after all it is the season of goodwill you can always check out more football Christmas ornaments and let them have just one of their team on your tree!

Boots Christmas Ornaments – A Gorgeous & Unique Way to Decorate Your Tree

There are some gorgeous shoe Christmas ornaments available, but sometimes shoes just don’t cut it – boots manage to step it up and that’s why I think if you have a love affair with boots then you should hang a few boots Christmas ornaments on your tree, don’t you agree?

 Black Boots Christmas Ornament Set

Dear Santa,

I think I’ve been good this year and even if I haven’t always been as good as I could have been you have to admit everyone needs black boots – even you wear black boots and your fashion hasn’t changed in years.

I prefer a heel on my boots so I’ve added these gorgeous Christmas ornaments so that you know what sort to leave. I’m sure you still have my sizing from last year.

I hope you enjoy the mince pies – I made them myself this year……

If this is the type of letter to Santa that you’d like to write then you’ll love these next Christmas ornaments that we have, from boots that look like Santa’s very own so some very sexy looking high heeled ankle boots I have a wonderful selection for you to choose from.

You could simply add one or two of these ornaments on your tree or deck out your whole tree in them.   Personally I think I’d use a combination of boots and shoes on a very fashion orientated Christmas tree ……….. in fact this would be a perfect idea for my daughter who has always had a touch of ‘Imelda Marcos’ about her when it comes to footwear!

Rabbit Christmas Ornaments

Rabbits aren’t just for Easter anymore!   If you or someone in your family loves bunnies then why not add one or two or a whole warren of rabbits to your family Christmas tree this year?

There’s just something about rabbits that make them look so cute which is probably why so many people (especially children) have them as pets.   Unfortunately I live in Queensland, Australia where it’s illegal to own rabbits so my daughter didn’t see one until we were holidaying in New Zealand and there were some wild ones outside of our hotel.   She would’ve loved to have owned her own, but all she could have were cuddly toy rabbits and ornaments of them 🙁

Rabbit Christmas Ornaments

Add A Cute Bunny to Your Tree These Holidays!

If you’ve had bunny rabbits as pets them I’m sure you’d want to celebrate them on your tree, I know we celebrate past and present pets on our tree each year.   Here’s a few of the rabbit ornaments I’ve found for you –
