Re: Grille emblem for my 66 GT350

Since we are on the subject . The original emblems had thin mounting pins and a C4 engineering number . Because the mounting pins were thin they broke and a improved emblem was put into service with thicker pins and a C8 engineering number. The original C4 emblems in good to excellent condition are rare. The pin thickness is a easy way to tell if a assembly line emblem is in place. Up until now your only choice was a Ford C8 emblem or repro of the C8 emblem. The good news is Scott Drake is reproducing a thin pin C4 type emblem. The bad news is it doesn't have the C4 engineering number which is marginally visible when mounted.
