Reg Evans Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 I've had these emblems for a couple of years and am not sure what year they are for. I'm guessing 40 or 41 Dodge. Anyone here know ? They are about 4.5" overall. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 They look like the emblems on the side of the pickup truck hoods from that timeframe. Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) You are right but.......These are about half the size of the truck emblems. Edited April 27, 2011 by Reg Evans Quote
Roadkingcoupe Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 my guess....... 1940 1941 Dodge car trunk script or hood script Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Posted April 27, 2011 That's a possibility although I have never seen one like this on a dash. Who on this forum owns a 40 or 41 Dodge ? They might have the answer. Quote
Roadkingcoupe Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 looks too large for dashboard might actually be hood script for 1939 Dodge CAR Quote
40phil41 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 They appear to be from the front nose of the 1940 Dodge car (one on either side). Nothing like that on the '41. My '40 is not out of winter hibernation yet so I can't measure mine (yet) but here is a photo. Phil Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks Phil. I think you are right. Kinda what I suspected. Quote
oldodge41 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Must be '40 only. I have a '41 and haven't seen those on the 41's I have looked at. Quote
Andydodge Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Just checked my 1940 Dodge & some spare ones.......4 & 5/8th inch long, 5/8th" high, three pins on the back, no part numbers on the back tho.......1940 Dodge they seem to me......andyd Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 and one on the trunk lid Oh...OK...that explains why I have a set of 3. Quote
Andydodge Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Reg, we only got 2 per car over here, both on the nose,have never noticed the one on the bootlid of US cars before............tho' the Oz cars being Plymouth based, used the 40 Plymouth number plate light/handle assembly......notice the different front sheetmetal on my car compared to that on Phils......andyd Quote
40phil41 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 and one on the trunk lid My 1940 trunk lid looks like this: Maybe the coupe is different? Phil Quote
40phil41 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Posted April 28, 2011 Senility is wonderfull . On the left in this photo is my friends Canadian 1940 Dodge coupe (model D16) while on the right is my 1940 Model D14 sedan (made in Canada but US style). Phil Quote
Reg Evans Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Hey thanks Phil. The mystery is solved. Thanks guys. I think I'll transform my ClubCar utility cart into a 40/53 Dodge with these emblems and a hood ornament. I've got to since my Grandkids call me Grandpa Dodge because most everything on 4 wheels here is a Dodge. Even my Chinese Yanmar tractor in the background is sporting a Dodge hood ornament. Quote

Desotodav Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I found this interesting "1950-1951 Dodge Truck after market Horse Hood Ornament?" whilst browsing Epay this morning... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-1951-Dodge-Truck-after-market-Horse-Hood-Ornament-/330632231667?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cfb377af3#ht_500wt_1413 . Isn't it pretty!!! Does anyone else out there have one of these installed? Desotodav Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 So the back of a canadian 40 Dodge coupe looks just like a US 40 Plymouth coupe. Fasinating:) Quote
B-Watson Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 So the back of a canadian 40 Dodge coupe looks just like a US 40 Plymouth coupe. Fasinating:) The Canadian-built 1940 Dodge D14 (Custom) looked just like the US Dodge which actually used the Plymouth body in 1940. The Canadian Dodge coupe in the photo is a D16 (DeLuxe) model which was a Plymouth DeLuxe with Dodge grille and nameplates. Notice the taillights are the same as the Plymouth. Chrysler of Canada also offered a lower priced Plymouth-based Dodge, the D15 Kingsway - same as the Plymouth Roadking. The D15 was also built in Detroit for export markets although the American export D15 offered all Plymouth body styles in the one series. D15 chassis were also shipped to countries such as Australia.

Desotodav Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks Reg, I saw that. Interesting choice of words for the description by the seller though. The thought of embarrassment did cross my mind if one were to drive around with that item attached to their truck as a hood ornament. Desotodav Quote
