I once bought an emblem off a 57 T-bird and stuck it on my wall with other antiques. I made My wife promise that someday she would buy me a Bird to attach it to.

Something I have thought of doing but never have is taking old emblems and mounting them on a wood plaque. This would then be something nice to put up in a den, spare room, or the garage wall. I am talking some nice wood stained to your taste and decor so the ladies like it. So many emblems and even engine size ones are out there to pick from. This is something that would also sell well at car shows. Big%20smile

My wife who can complete a 150 mile trip in 2 hours and has never received a ticket and who can mow an acre of grass in 1 hour has crossed flags on both vehicles, the Corvette and the Toro.

My Silverado sports the Stingray Starburst on the tailgate. I will snap a pic of it in the next few days.....

Bye the way how did the doge react to having that emblem placed in it's hitch?

I do have an emblem from my old AMC Hornet. After all it was the wagon and they called that the Sportabout. Does that count? kstyer2008-06-26 19:10:53

I think you need a hitch on the rear of your PC. Then it would look good.
