What was this? Ford V8 emblem on metal rod.

I picked this up at a garage sale the other day and though I could use the emblem on my trucks grill. He had another that said "Deluxe". Does anyone know what its use was originally for?





Thanks,

Horn button and light switch on a 1937 Ford. There might be better guesses out there.

Looks about right, I have one around somewhere from a 37 pickup.

Hidden nitrous switch, Henry had on early V8s.

Head light switch and horn button for 1938 Ford and you also picked up a very nice 8BA flathead with a merc crank for $50.

Great idea. I was wondering where to mount the nitrous switch on my current build. Just adding a little Edlebrock 50 shot to my flatty.

Yes, I did score on the flathead engine with the merc crank for $50. All I have left is the valve train then into the shop. I am a tad bit concerned that all the cylinders where sleeved. Hopefully they all mag well. It will help make up for the thousands I've spent on other flathead engines only to find out they're scrap.

Yep, '37 Ford stuff. Same as my Banjo wheel uses, got it in my hand to compare, looks identical.
If you are going to take it apart to paint it, be real careful bending the four tabs that hold the button on. After 70-odd years stuff gets a tad brittle.
Oh, by the way, there is no light switch there, just the switch knob. The switch was down on the bottom of the steering box.
