G'day all , We were discussing the Mustang today as we look forward to a brand new Tickford Mustang as one of the drawcard vehicles for our Annual Cranks and Tinkerers St Marys Car and Bike Show on Sunday.
Several Ford Car clubs will be there in numbers , not least the Mustang guys and gals and around 300 cars are booked in. The lack of an obvious Ford emblem on the later Mustangs is a curiosity that prompted me to try and find out a bit of history of the famous Blue Oval emblem in general.. Then I recall many early Falcons didn't really display the Blue Oval that much either or did they ? My first memory of front and rear emblems was the XC Falcon and Mk2 Escorts and Cortina's in the late 1970's.. Knowing me , I'll probably be well and truly corrected on that.. I also have memories of some British Fords with a Red Oval though. A local has a 1949 Australian built Anglia with Red Ovals on the old girl. I found this general bit of info of the emblem here though http://glennfordnews.com/history-of-the-ford-logo/ . Mustangs or generally for the badgework info would be really interesting if anyone knows. Cheers Rod Last edited by roddy1960; 09-06-2017 at 07:29 PM. |
