    It's not an original Ford emblem. It is a numbered aftermarket piece.

    The first one I saw was on some cars in Arizona that were built by "Arizona Street Rods". I wanted one for my rpu as I was using a winged V-8 as a theme throughout the car. I'm not sure if A.S.R. was making them or getting them from another source, but they weren't too keen on letting me buy one, and that they were way pricey.

    I decided I would make my own, so at the Grand National Roadster show there was a vendor selling some wings with their logo in the center.
    I bought the wings and polished them, and carefully Dremelled their logo out,(don't tell them) painted the background red and glued in a sterling silver V-8 earring from "Motorhead Jewelry" and installed it like you would a button in my seat back.
    Pictured is the emblem I did for my seat and the gold leaf V-8 on my cowl.

    So, even tho they are an aftermarket item, they are very well made, and a exceptionally cool piece to have!
