Howdy,
Did a search through the site but didnt find what i was looking for.

Which decal goes on a 292 town sedan to fancy up the valve covers?  Red block, black covers.
C&G says this one,

DF 70 would be my choice. The Thunderbird special and interceptor I think were used only on 312's.

292 was the "Thunderbird V8", 312 was "thunderbird Special V8"

Maybe Canadian cars were different, but I do not recall ever seeing any valve cover decals on our Y Blocks. Granted all 3 of mine were 1957 272s, but my buddy has a 57 with a factory 312 4 barrel that he has owned since 1967, and it has no stickers either.
1959 Meteor 2 door sedan , 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed. Been drag racing Fords (mostly FEs) 47 years and counting.
Previous 50s Fords include 57 Custom 4 door, 2 57 Ford Sedan Deliveries, 59  Country Sedan, and as a 9 year old, fell in love with the family 58 2 door Ranch Wagon.

Perhaps this one?

Previous owner did reference it having a thunderbird engine, even though by that time, any thunderbird markings had been clearly replaced by squirrel nests.

This one also seems to agree with wiki, ...everybody knows wiki is never wrong.
Just looking to not get it completely wrong.

My 57 with 312 has the  DF71 Thunderbird Special decals but I have always wanted to get some one to make me  a set in the exact image but instead of saying Thunderbird  will say "ThunderRoad" Special I think that would be so cool!

 Guys; you need to talk to Jeff about that decal that doesn`t exist. I`ll bet he can make it happen. Have no idea on cost , but I do know he has a source for custom decals. Are you listening Jeff? We will need the Norwell Equipted in the bottom corner.     Gary
