Wanted: Ranch Wagon Script

[Ron]

I need the stainless "Ranch Wagon" script for both front fenders on my '57 Tudor Ranch Wagon (59A).  Please let me know what you have.  Thank you!  Ron

They aren't cheap.  Did you see the ones that just sold on eBay?

Wow! And Yikes!  Maybe those blank spots on the fenders don't look so bad after all!  Ron

I e-mailed Dennis Carpenter a couple weeks ago to ask if they plan on reproducing them.  They said they do not plan on reproducing them.

Carpenter moves really slow on stuff!  Bob Juliano and I were working on getting a 60 wagon lift gate window rubber as none are available.  Bob gave a lift gate to Carpenter and it is still sitting in the "storage" area.  I called and talked to them after Bob passed away to see if there was any progress and the answer was no.  Both he and I are/were building 60 2dr Ranchwagons, him two and mine.  Don't know if his son is going to continue the builds, work on them stopped when Bob got sick.  The web site for Julianos has pics of the builds.

I offered to give Carpenter a Courier script last year to aid in having them made, and they were not interested due to the low volume.   The courier emblem uses all the same letters and shapes as some of the emblems they currently reproduce, so I figured if it was already in cad, they might be able took up fairly easily. 

I understand the quanity issue.   I had heard that if someone needed something real bad and it wasn't too difficult Bob would make some to help.  I realize that in the modern day, it is important to make a good profit on investments, and they have to choose what is good for the company.

If you know of someone who makes tooling, that is who we need to contact on getting some of this special stuff made.

[Boss/Cyclone]

I'm currently trying to get these made.  I have talked to a shop that has the ability about making some.  Still working out the details, they said minimum run was 100 which should not be hard to sell as these work on some earlier models also, but they won't be cheap.  I'll get back to everone when I have more information. 

Oh, they mentioned that I need to get it licensed from Ford.  Not sure how difficult that will be, I know it will cost some cash though.

Just a thought...reproduce in vinyl until the real thing is found or bury in clear.

[RICH MUISE]

www.fordrestorationandparts.com has one, or a set, listed for 45.
oops...never mind...sold

[Boss/Cyclone]

www.fordrestorationparts.com has one, or a set, listed for 45.

If you click on the emblem the web site then says they have none in stock.  Checked there as soon as I bought my wagon.

[RICH MUISE]

LOL...your quick...by the time I went back to see what quantity they may have had, and found the sold statement, you had already posted.

[Jeff Norwell]

Ron.. did you ask Milo1957 if he had the stuff u need?..... contacting on FB is better.

I bought two NOS scripts from Burtons about a year ago. Don't know if he has more or not. Bob

Switching gears...a little. Any info' on Courier scripts? I have access to a 3D machine and would like to find a NOS, good used, bad condition, in pieces...etc,  If nothing else a paper template of an original would give me the scale and something to work with... for my shaved 56 Courier.
