57 Supercharged glove box emblem. Seen First time! A FORMER supercharged [f code] Fairlane at a local show, had the SPECIAL V8 emblem on its glove box.! And it was an Original f code car. When found tho, the engine was a SIX. 312 was gone. I've seen the '58 Interceptor emblems, but this was a first '57 Supercharged car for me. Originally a loaded Fairlane hardtop demonstrator car.

Re: 57 Supercharged glove box emblem. Seen I assume the data plate and the frame number said it was a "F" car ?

Re: 57 Supercharged glove box emblem. Seen Hello Did you get a picture. Thanks

Re: 57 Supercharged glove box emblem. Seen As often as I’ve seen Frank’s F code Bird or Skyliner, I’ve never looked for an emblem. Anyone got a picture? I didn’t find one with a search.

Originally Ford planned to have a glove box emblem for each engine displacement in the '57 lineup. That plan was quickly abandoned, however, so that only cars assembled by October of '56 had them. Here is each emblem pictured from top down for the 312, 292, 272, and 223 engines respectively. The 312 emblem was used on any car with that displacement, without regard for whether it was a D-code E-code or F-code.

Re: 57 Supercharged glove box emblem. Seen My family had a '58 Fairlane 500 4 door with the 352/300hp engine. I remember the emblem on the dash that said INTERSEPTOR. I don't remember the "special", but it's been a long time.

These emblems are scarce today but can be found occasionally. Here's one I added to my '57 E-code Club Sedan, which being a January '57 car did not have one from the factory.

re: Your 56 had the emblem on the glove-box door and not the fenders?
This was on the fenders of mine when I got it in '68. But goofy things can happen over the years. Attachment 569696 |
Re: 57 Supercharged glove box emblem. Seen Nah, you're good.
The T-BIRD EMBLEM (on the fender) was calling out the 292 - 1955 (and later 312 - 1956), the V8 called out the 272 and the I6 called out the 223. |
