Bingster Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 It seems to me that there was somebody who restored emblems like my Desoto Cloisonne Hood and deck emblems. The gold is what really need to be done over. The iset red is plastic from what I can tell. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 Have you looked in the pages (or online) of Hemmings Motor News?? They would be the most likely place to begin looking.. Or, call a high end classic car restoration shop to ask who does such a thing for them. Quote
Flatie46 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 Someone on this forum restored their own emblems sometime back. I remember seeing it in a thread, don't remember the thread or who it was. I remember they discussed reapplying the gold. It may have been for a Plym or Dodge though. Maybe someone will recall who it was. Quote

1940plymouth Posted December 20, 2012 Report Posted December 20, 2012 Check with RobertKB, he did his and they look fantastic Quote
Don Jordan Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 Speaking of emblems can someone identify this? Quote
Frank Elder Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 T-bird? It looks almost as old as that keyboard!!!:D:) Quote
49roadster Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 It is DeSoto and I'm guessing 1946? Quote
Don Jordan Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 I figured DeSoto - I was just wondering if we could pin point a year. My good neighbor across the street knows I'm in to Mopar and gave it to me. I would like to find a good home for it. I was thinking of getting a DeSoto to go with the emblem but apparently my wife said I have enough cars. Silly woman - you can never have enough cars. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 It is a 1946-8 DeSoto hood badge but it appears there are a couple different styles of those hood badges used for 1946-8 DeSotos. Must be a up to serial # thing? Quote
Bingster Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Posted December 24, 2012 That looks like mine (1947) and is exactly what I want to restore. Quote
Don Jordan Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 I looked on the back and there are no numbers. This emblem is in fair shape. If you want it e-mail me. I'd like to see it go some where it will be appreciated. Let me know. Quote
Bingster Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks but actually mine is in better shape but still not usable.. Quote
