DOES ANY ONE HAVE A THUNDERBIRD SPECIAL EMBLEM ON THE GLOVE BOX DOOR. I HAVE SEEN THEM IN LITERASURE PICTURES, BUT CAN'T REMEMBERE EVER SEEING ONE ON A CAR. LOOKS A LOT LIKE THE 58 EMBLEM USED ON THE FIRST 332-352 CARS. THANKS TOM
They're pretty rare these days. Only came on 1957 312 cars. I know Randy Conner had a couple when I was at his place a few years ago. At that time he wouldn't sell them. You can email him at RLCpartman@aol.com. The 58 Interceptor emblems are easier to find.
I belive they were only put on the glove box of factory "E" and "F" cars.
I've seen them on single 4V 312 cars (D code) as well. A friend of mine had one back in the day and I'm sure it wasn't a dual quad or blower car.
I think it was used on some early 312 4v cars. I sold one on ebay a while back. I have never noticed it on a supercharged or 2-4 car. The supercharged cars were all later in the year, so they would have been too late to get the emblem.
what does that look like?
I have a `58 one, what is the difference in the early 57 and the 58 emblem?
I parted out a 57 custom 300 4dr. D-code with the emblem on the glove box, Im using it on my ranchero.
The '58 glove box emblem is different. It says Interceptor instead of Special. I believe it came on 352 cars. It's a lot more common.
Mine says Interceptor...
