Mercury M100 logo font
Morning, new to the site so hello. I am a time served engineer, live in New Zealand and have a 1955 Mercury M100. I want to manufacture some bespoke Aluminium steps for the running boards, does anyone know what the font "mercury" is designed in (as shown on the tailgate in the picture)?

Re: Mercury M100 logo font
I would make it just a little bit different, so Ford can't make you stop after you spend money to make a mold or die. Even though they stopped production of the Mercury, they may still feel ownership. Very nice pickup.

Re: Mercury M100 logo font
Thanks for all the advice, I am going to get the plates laser cut in Aluminium & finish by hand once I have the font, cheers again.

I live in Toronto and recently purchased a beautifully restored 1953 Merc M-100. I too would love to finish it by adding "Mercury" aluminum step plates. I do have a reasonably good picture of what the original step plates look like, but have been unsuccessful in finding any NOS or used step plates to purchase. As you may already be a aware, no one seems to be reproducing any Mercury branded/logoed parts for our vehicles. Have you gone ahead with your project and had step plates custom made? If so, I would love to get the details from you. If you haven't proceeded, I would be willing to split the design/production costs with you, so we could both have them produced. Please let me know. |

Hi, I haven't done anything yet as I have been rebuilding the engine. If I can find the correct font I will laser cut and machine the foot plates. Let me know if you find the logo, cheers Paul.

Re: Mercury M100 logo font
Here is a picture of the step plates from a Canadian 1954 Mercury M-100. Let me know how you would like to proceed to get these step plates custom made. I too would like to have them for my '53 pickup, and am happy to participate with you in the cost to re-create them. |

Re: Mercury M100 logo font
Hi, I don't see any picture, however to ensure the accuracy I will need to know the exact font type, cheers.

Re: Mercury M100 logo font
What about possibly 3D printing? Sometimes used for very small runs of parts or even to make a mold for casting something from a metal not so conducive to 3D printing.

Re: Mercury M100 logo font
rdouglas, if you want something like that, send ace customs in the link above the picture and an email. I’ve got a set of their Mercury script valve covers, and they did a custom under dash panel to my drawings for a pretty reasonable cost for a one off. Yours might have some market interest.
Here’s the Mercury valve cover |

Re: Mercury step plates for 1953 M-100
Its taken a while to get back to this thread but from the advice above I hired Ace Patterns to make me a pair of Mercury step plates for my '53 M-100. Jimmy from Ace Patterns was absolutely fantastic to deal with and is highly recommended for any similar type project!
