8e is an accessory part. It is called Wirbulator and was made between 1952 and 1958. Its main task, besides being decorative, was to keep insects, dust and snow away from the windshield.

It is sitting on top of a 1957 Vauxhall hood ornament.

I'm sure that C (the boxer) is an aftermarket mascot, but it looks to be mounted on a radiator cap from a Rover (P3 or earlier), the plain type, without the Viking's head.

I've found another example of 8f, but no further information. Can anyone identify the car from this detail?

...And eventually found 8b, which is the mascot on an Aeroliner Sport, made by Posies Inc. Rods & Customs, of Hummelstown, Pennsylvania.

8b. Correct. Posies Aeroliner Sport Ken Fenical U.S.A. 2006
8f. As I wrote before as a clue, it's an aftermarket mascot. My source says that it belongs more to a generic kind of car than an specific model. (Last clue)
