René Lalique created the "Vitesse" car mascot in 1929. It was used as a radiator cap on the front of cars of the time. René Lalique (born April 6, 1860, Ay, France—died May 5, 1945, Paris) was a French jeweler and glass designer during the early 20th century whose creations contributed significantly to the Art Nouveau movement at the turn of the century. Lalique was trained at the School of Decorative Arts, Paris, and in London (1878–80) and founded his own firm at Paris in 1885. His Art Nouveau brooches and combs attracted great attention at the Paris international exhibition in 1900, after which he became a celebrated jeweler. Among his patrons was the renowned French actress Sarah Bernhardt, for whom he designed some of his finest creations. He was also a technical innovator, successfully introducing new materials, such as horn, by emphasizing their hitherto neglected visual and tactile qualities. His favourite motifs were women—represented with sensuous hair and diaphanous drapery—and animals, especially snakes or insects. Reacting against machine production of more manneristic jewelry featuring precious gems, he created jewelry of elegant and fantastic designs with relatively few precious stones. His relief decoration was produced by blowing into molds or by pressing. His new designs shown at the Paris Exhibition, 1925, greatly enhanced his reputation. Used for luxury articles, Lalique glass was the height of fashion during the 1920s. He was a leading advocate of the use of glass in architecture, and much of his work was in the form of lighting equipment and other details of interior decoration. Under the direction of his son Marc, Lalique’s factory continued to produce glass in his own personal style after his death.

I carry one of these in my glove compartment for this very reason! Far too many babies, children and pets die in cars every summer and mere SECONDS count!

I have a Model Y, but they're in the same place. I know where they are, and if it's an emergency, they'll just break the glass with the hammer. I like this one; it's nicely weighted. If you don't have one, you should pick one up.
