I looked around online and they do appear to be 1956 Chevy fender ornaments. Here's one car that looks like it has the same thing: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/nice...-112701359.jpg

Fender Birds
"Fender Birds". Don't believe they were a factory option, as they're listed as a GM accessory. Reproductions are available.
