Narve N Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I have found these two different badge styles for Canadian-made Chryslers and I want to choose one of them for reproduction and be placed on my 1929 Chrysler Series 65. Anyone have insight into which one is correct for a 1929? Should the words "Made In" be included". For those of you that reckon I should have reused the original, I have also included a picture of the one that was on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

36 D2 Coupe Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi Narve N Your sample plate is the same size as the one from my '36 Dodge. It had a red background instead of the black and said "Windsor Ontario" and "Made in Canada" I don't have a sample of earlier Chrysler manufacturer's badges but I think the black background may be correct. The shape of mine is like the second sample but the wording is more like the first one. Not sure if this is helpful. Are you confused yet????

Not sure if this is helpful. Are you confused yet???? Hey, I very much appreciate your input. The second sample is offered by a vendor on eBay and quoted (in the style eBay) to "fit 40s cars". I have also noticed the red versions which e.g. https://www.nostalgicreflections.com do offer for late 30s cars. The one I am after is however black, I have once seen a circa 1930 period correct Canadian badge on a car video presentation - but was unable to copy any image and now I cannot find the video back. It was however black with the "oblong" shape. Unless someone can provide further information, I will likely go for the text in my "rectangular" example including the words "Made In", but with the oblong shape. Had a photo session/field trip with my Canadian 1929 Chrysler yesterday's interesting light conditions. The radiator badge does say Made in Canada too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$um Fun Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Great lighting conditions on the picture, especially love the Scintila horn. Was that added later on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36 D2 Coupe Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Wow! That is a fantastic picture. The hay field and the misty background make a wonderful setting. That's a calendar image for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 The Scintilla horn has been on the car since its stay in UK (1929-1938). The original was all rusted solid, but I did find a replacement in 2004 at Retromobile in Paris. Two years later I found another replacement that also buzzed...
