1940 Ford script badge

[Tudortomnz]

I believe a set of Ford script badges I found at a swapmeet are the same as used on 1940 Standard cars [ hood, cowl edge] ; 5" by 1&3/4" deep approx. They show no chrome, but paint remnants.
Were these also used on commercial vehicles in either '40 or '41?
I saw a '41 or '42 Firengine yesterday, but it did not have this type Ford script.
Thanks

What you describe sounds like the script in front of the side cowl vent in a 40 COE cab. Look closely at this picture under the 8504. This would be about that size.
Other COE years had the Ford script on an oval or rectangular emblem.

It may be from a '42-'47 COE cowl, they were painted Tacoma Cream. They looked like the plated ones on the '41 COE and the hood sides and dash center of the '40-'41 conventional cab trucks. Mark

The emblems on the hood sides and dash of the 40 and 41 PU cabs are totally different. The 40 has a raised area STAMPED into the dash with a chrome script as used on sides of hood. The 41 and later dash is flat in center. The 41 has a chrome plaque with the word Ford stamped into it, was used on the 41 hood sides also. Nothing is on the later PU dash.

Thankyou Gentlemen for your information.
These free standing scripts seem to be from a commercial, maybe a COE, a few of which still survive here. The script used on the '40 '41' Pickups appear to have stamped metal background which mine do not.
