Thumbs up V8 Bling

Went to the swap meet this morning and got this cool Classic V8 Emblem.

What do you all think

Looks similar to the one on the back of my Explorer. I like it.

Don:

Assuming it is original, that is quite a find.
I'm not a historian really, but that is pretty much the logo
Ford used for their V8 "signature" from I think 1932 up through at least around 1940. I know I have a number of late 30's hubcaps that use that signature and also a dealer sign or two as well.
Definitely major "Bling" and maybe someone on the board that knows a bit more of the history of the logo can chime in here and tell you what you have.

Bill I allways liked the old classic logo. No that is not a original, it is a reproduction. When I saw it, I had to have it, after I washed the truck I started to look for a place to install it. The cover for the starter relay looked like a good place.

Hey Don...I like it...brings back memories...
just make sure if you take your rod in for servicing that
it does not turn up missing...too many people will
steal a play pretty like that.

Don:

Repro or not it is still Bling!!!!!
Better take it off as Moon said if you take it
in for service. If they don't steal it, they may void
your warranty
