I had seen this car in Newport Beach and at the German Autofest; a recent thread mentioned the owner passed.
I want to copy the graphic that’s on the front hood; I can’t see the text in my pic.
Hoping someone else has a better pic or knows what it says

AI says its this - Family Huonen von Gouttet Switzerland - but no translation is available. I'm guessing its stating - The family of Hunan von Gouttet from Switzerland, but I'm just guessing.

Couple of things here, this is a family code of arms, hence the family name and city on top and the country beneath.

However, i don't think this is originally from Switzerland because nobody in Switzerland would call Switzerland Switzerland.
Just as nobody in Germany calls Germany Germany.

So my best guess is that this was done by an English speaking person, most likely American to represent their Swiss heritage.

I’m guessing it was just a fun way of personalizing their car.
