More Chrome Car Emblems

Post by Mike Jackson »

A year or so ago, I had an article in SignCraft showing a bunch of chrome car emblems from the classic cars of days gone by. SignCraft included quite a few of them, but tonight I added a page on my site with a bunch more. I have more to add, but my eyes are getting tired!

Here's the page on my site:

There will probably be emblems you'll remember from the high school parking lot and some you may have never seen! There is even a Rambler Ambassador emblem! My dad bought a Rambler, which was okay until it lost the R, so we had an "ambler".

Enjoy!

Hi Erik,
I was pretty tired last night and had to quit before I had them all on the page, so I finished it this morning by adding another row.

Maybe someday, I'll add another row, but for now, it is pretty complete.

I like most of them, but I think the Cutlass emblem has a lot of spunk. Same for the Dart "Swinger". Malibu is very smooth and I like the way they connected the B and the U. The Imperial emblem was huge, and unique!

Maybe everyone else has favorites?
