Tailgate emblem and bezel?
Anyone know where I can find the tailgate/rear door emblem for the 56 sedan delivery? Part numbers are 0A 7042514-B and 0A 7042522-B. Cannot seem to find them anywhere. I have the original but the bezel is in sad shape and the emblem is toast. Thanks

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
Is it specific to the '56 Sedan Delivery only? Do you have a photo or two you can post?

It will not let me add photos. Keeps saying too long even when shrunk down

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
I ordered all that stuff from Concours Parts back in the late '90's for my '55 Courier sedan delivery project, but I don't get their catalog anymore. Some of the other popular resto parts suppliers have discontinued it.
You'd better hang on to that rubber gasket. No one has ever offered it repro. The '55's did not have that gasket. Instead, they had a foam pad inserted behind the plastic emblem, but the chrome bezel itself was mounted directly up against metal. Same for hood emblem. Courier1.JPG |

I have a '55 Customline plastic emblem and bezel. The top portion of the plastic emblem is deeper than the wagon because of the difference in bezels between the cars and wagons. I may have a brand new, never used repro chrome plated bezel for wagon tailgates (and Courier), but not 100% sure. Will take photos and post here tomorrow. |

I have compared the extra bezel I have with the one that is actually on my Courier. This extra one must be for '52-'54 trunk lids and will not fit correctly with contour of the wagon tailgate/back door.
Here's photos of the extra one I have. 29-3.JPG 29-4.JPG |

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
There in lies another hickup. Don't know if you remember but while back I was having issues with the license plate holder. The mount that goes on the door was different from the one the is listed. I bought a 56 rubber pad and it is totally different from the one on the door. Hmmm. So looking it seems the license plate holder is from a earlier door. Can the earlier rear door be fitted to the 56? I ask this as the rear glass is not correct either. The glass is more curved the the frame. Hmmm again. Really odd. Being a delivery car and it was fairly banged up when I got it. Amazing what bondo can do. Upon stripping it down the were placed with 1/2 inch on bondo on them. Anyway I am thinking the rear door got caved in and replaced with a earlier on if that is possible.

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
You might give Concours a call. Sometimes they have stuff that's not listed in their catalogue or on line.

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
OK Concours has one listed they say is for the sedan delivery part number tho is different. They list it as BF 7043522 A which is not even a Ford number. May be just their part number but do not want to get the wrong one. Have contacted them to see what they say.

THEN, you go on the Concours website and see if they show photos of the BF-7043522A and compare it to mine. |

Here are photos of the rear door emblem, bezel and license plate light assembly on my '55 Courier. Parts should be exactly same for '56.

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
Dave thanks for the pics. This is the one in concours catalog. Cannot tell if it is flat or not. Will have to see what the one I have is.

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
If worst comes to worst, and your original isn't pitted too bad, you should be able to get it re-chromed, but it may cost you $50 bucks. Compare that with what they are asking now for the repro. I think they are getting close to that much already.

Re: Tailgate emblem and bezel?
Probably true as they want $45 plus shipping. I need some other stuff rechromed anyway so may wait till then.
