28 French Model A Ford Badge
 

I mostly lurk on the early V8 sections but thought I would share what I found at a swap meet last weekend here in France . Looks like a '28 emblem because of the step at the edge.Pretty cool as it says "imported" "from the United States of America".

Very cool. My wife graduated with a major in French and she lived in Dijon for a while. She would appreciate that.

That 3 day swap meet was in Lyon.Huge (for here)and all indoors.Maybe 400 parts vendors + 100 yrs of Citroen displays along with Peugeot ,Delage,Porsche clubs etc.A few friends here have them in their collections. A collector in the UK talked me out of it.I have seen reproductions here.

Very Cool...I have the companion piece, firewall patent data plate imprinted with the same across the bottom border .


An American car equipped with fender lights as well.....did it leave the states & return or never left ????

Bonjour Deuce Lover,

I too was at EpoqueAuto on Friday afternoon. Great show. I picked up what looks be a NOS '30-'31 hub cap and some post-Model A years Revue Ford but I did not see much else French Model A.

Brad now in Germany (on my way home from Lyon, France)

I saw that hubcap,a nice one. Got a UK Fordson badge also.Picked up a '32 dealer brochure.Here are some pics of it.In March there is a pretty good size meet in Avignon.Last yr was a couple 30 pass car and a commercial grille shells.I don't grab the "A" stuff,just the '32-'35. Sheldon

The Dealer '32 book shows French made headlamps & horn. These are also shown in "The 1932 Ford Book.
Great find.
