I was searching for a new trunk emblem for the car I just bought and noticed that the colors are reversed in the replacement units . Do I have a odd ball ? Heres is a link to the emblem the red and blue are on the opposite sides on my car .

Are the lions/cats/whatever they are facing in the opposite direction as well? If so, maybe they just accidentaly reversed the image. Don't know where my old one is to look.
It's possible that the factory worker over in China was not properly trained, just a wild guess!
I think you have an oddball the one from Macs look correct to me..
I looked at mine and the lions are facing the same way just the red and blue are switched .
That Ford family crest is something Henry Ford had done to feed his ego. Means absolutely nothing. I think I'll see if there's room to convert mine to a 3rd brake light.

The red and blue on mine are the same as the one in Mac's catalog.
I thought the top of this page was a good example :003:

Why didn't I think of that? I had to go all the was out back in the cold just to find that out.
Even if mine was wrong, most likely I would not have changed it. Out here where 57 Fords are scarce who would have noticed it?
Some of you guys may think this is redneck or whatever, but I am from the South, and am very proud of my Southern heritage, so....
This is an idea I had a couple years ago, actually made one up, but this is the photochop that I did to see if I would like it..Check it out. Yeah, the one I made is on my Custom right now.
By the way, the red is on the upper left on my original part.
James, missing a few stars or did you just forget the border states?

Had to size it down from a square decal, just did this in about a minute, so I didnt go for accuracy, lol. As they say, some detail was lost in the transfer of the image, lol. The real one looks better, still missing a star or two though.
