Winged Head of Ra the Sun God was adopted as the offical symbol of the Stutz Company in the 1920s.
Ra was ancient Egypt’s solar deity. The name’s etymology is unclear, but it may have represented the word for “creator,” or “creative power.” Creative power was certainly on display in products from the great American car builder Stutz, which utilized a stylized, Art Deco depiction of the sun god as its radiator mascot between 1926 and 1935.

The Stutz Ra features a Neo-Egyptian helmet, rather than the traditional solar disc that is associated with the Egyptian deity. Note the serpent head on the front of the helmet, similar to that worn on the headdress of King Tuthankhamun.
