Would anyone be able to help me locate an original dealer logo from Fuller Ford in Cincinatti for the back of my 69? I reached out to the dealership, and followed ebay for years, no luck. Thanks in advance.

Mate my car is also a Fuller Ford Cinc sold and I have looked for years and no leads, been trying to find a license plate frame etc
No luck

Great thread to start. Many old dealerships have gone by the wayside.
How about Schumacher Forrd in Evanston, Illinois?
How about an East Point Ford in Atlanta???

Folks, not every Dealer had the chrome script. Many used decals. Jack Loftus for instance never had Loftus license plate frame so I stopped looking.
Also consider the holes script would leave.
My car was sold by a non-Shelby dealer -- not a transfer from another Shelby dealer, as the Marti indicates it went straight to this dealer. This dealer used a multi-hole chrome badge/script.
Anyway, you need to find out where the dealer might have placed the script.
My dealer would have placed it lower left, likely above the bumper.
However, the taillights prevented that placement.
Another option might have been in the valance.
In my case I have an original correctly date coded valance and no holes there either.
Since the car was a special order to this non-Shelby dealership I suspect the owner requested they not add the script.
Coralsnake has a few scripts for 1968 and up Shelbys.
For California (and some other) frames, check http://www.calicenseplates.com/ford-frames-listing.html
I have seen them in lower valances / and drilled right into the deck lid :o
I have collected a bunch of metal ones thru the years . But I think by 67-68 many dealers were using decals
Very good observations. And history lesson.
Thank you.

I placed an ad in the Houston area for years looking for Republic Ford. I never got one response. I now have ads for J.D. Ball in the Miami area. I'm thinking junk yards might be the best best for actual scripts if they indeed used them.

Brian, I'm sure you're way ahead of me, but have you tried asking FL SAAC Tony?
With his connections, and being from the area, he might be able to help you one way or another.

Wow! That's quite the collection!
Funny, I get annoyed when the dealer sticks their emblem on my cars. Can't imagine drilling holes in brand new cars.
Holy emblems, Batman! That's REALLY cool.
I'm betting that there's a bunch of other people out there who wish they had started collecting these as well.
...including this guy. ;)
WOW what a collection... :) I would never consider putting one on my car. I would just like to find one from East Point Ford in Atlanta. That is the dealer mine was delivered to for delivery to Hertz.

Great to see those old badges, I love it when I see an old car with the correct dealer badge.
That is beyond impressive! Very Well Done!!!
Thanks for sharing these photos, so we all can see what was definitely made as emblems.

When my best friends father purchased a brand new 1965 Pontiac convertible, and it arrived with the dealer logo screwed into the trunk, he demanded it be removed, filled, and repainted. Was not "automobilia" in the day.

Of my six Fords, only one of the dealers is still operating... Fuller.
One of my interests is local newspaper advertisements of the day from the dealerships my cars came from.
The old adverts are amazing and fun to read for sure.

Wow now that's a serious hatred for a dealer emblem. Thankfully they are just stickers today.
I remove them off of every family car we have owned. I'm fine with a license plate frame, as they don't clutter up the tail end.
Any one with a Broadway Motors car?
Just missed latest Pookie offering :-\

I'm looking for a Russ Davis Ford or Foulger Ford frame. Most CA dealers didn't use script just frames.
Gt350shelb, would you consider selling me the Brooklyn script?👍
My dad didn't even want dealer license frames on his car. He would say "why should I provide them with free advertising?"

I did see this offering, but then I saw who was selling it. I thought, run and run faster. The price seemed a little steep too. I hope the new owner is happy.

My dad,
not a car guy, took that theme a step further.
He pried all the Hyundai logos off his Hyundai so that you could only see the outline of the name Hyundai every where they placed them. This includes the hubcaps and the complimentary jacket (removed stitching, forcing us to read the name Hyundai in the embroidery stitching holes. ::)
My brother and I laughed so hard we cried, then teased him until we realized how serious he was when he got angry, 😂
I always tell them don't put that sh!t on my car.
1/2 time it's there and they need to remove with me watching....

I looked for years as well. My car was originally sold out of Johnny Bolton Ford in Maitland, Florida back in 68. I posted a "wanted" ad here on the forums and after about a year a veteran out of Florida contacted me through these very SAAC Forums. He had two different versions and agreed to sell them to me for a very reasonable price .
Keep posting and looking. They are still out there somewhere.
The top emblem is a stick on and the bottom emblem has the metal pins.
QSS
looking at all those dealer emblems brings back a lot of memories of working at the dealer. I can still hear many of their jingles in my head
AMAZING COLLECTION OF SCRIPTS!!!!!!!!
see one dealer name/logo that matches a 66 car I sold a few years ago and one dealer name that my F150 came from
cool items

Found this one in a drawer
Does anyone know if these scripts were put on Hertz cars
specifically from Milo Brooke Ford in Chicago?

After years of searching, finally found an image of the decal for Dick Price Ford, in Radford Va., where my Torino was sold. Had a perfect reproduction made locally. Next is Bud Egolf Motors from just outside Chicago for the Cougar. Was able to obtain a rough image from the original dealers son, to be reproduced.
To me, adds to the history of the car.
