Guest Danny M Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi everyone, this is my first post. I ended up digging this emblem from what I assume is from the side of a 50s - 60s car, but I, nor anyone I know can figure out what it is from. Honestly it might be a simple thing that I just couldn't think of at the time but I figured this would be a good place to ask! Thanks in advance for any information given! I'm sure I'll have more questionable finds soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Henry White Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 That is Mopar, "the forward look" from about 1956, Plymouth IIRC. On second thought, it may be 1960 Dodge. Dang old age, I know I am close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Does it have the logo with the letters "DPCD" with some numbers on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny M Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Does it have the logo with the letters "DPCD" with some numbers on the back?It says "RH 1904696" unfortunately that's all I've got for writing...now that I think about it, if the RH stands for Right Hand the picture may even be upside down...That would be pretty sweet if it was Mopar though . Our original best guess was Dodge or Plymouth too, but I couldn't guess what it would've been x.x ... Thanks guys Edited May 6, 2014 by Danny M (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Not MoPar if it does not have the DPCD logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I see it on a 1961 Dodge now. It must have that logo somewhere on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Henry White Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 1961 hmm. I have sold NOS ones before but it was decades ago. It should have the DPCD logo, it will be two letters over two others, not in line. BTW, thee casting numbers are not the same as part numbers. Correct me if I am wrong guys, my memory is failing. Post us up some more pics of finds. You can send me any civil war stuff you find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) its on the front fender between the headlight and the wheeljanYes, I know where it goes on the car/fender. I am saying that the DPCD logo MUST be on the part somewhere on the backside. Edited May 6, 2014 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny M Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yes, I know where it goes on the car/fender. I am saying that the DPCD logo MUST be on the part somewhere on the backside.I cleaned it up a bit more and I uncovered a little more writing but it looks to say AAGZ (from what I could see through the corrosion). I took a few pictures of the back of it and of the writing I could see on it. Thanks for the information everyone =), that definitely looks to be the car! Here's the images : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtbaron Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 If the DPCD isn't on it, it could be a repro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Doubt that is was reproduced, but I have been surprised before to see a MoPar part without the DPCD. Very rare to see a Chrysler part without it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prs519 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yes, I too have seen LH and RH parts with the same part number with one of them, nevertheless, lacking the MOPAR alphabet logo. Actually, I have noticed frequent differences in what is there, and what lacks, in many of the cast parts, regardless of the brand origin. Perhaps the molds "filled in" or broke off fairly easily?
