Title: Fender Skirt Logo
Post by: Fr Mike on October 23, 2006, 11:18:59 PM
I have a nice pair of old skirts for my '36 P2 that really jazz the car up; , but they have the chrome Chrysler  logo on them. The logo piece can be easily removed as it attaches with only 2 bolts.

I need to beg, buy, or borrow a Plymouth logo from somewhere so that a pair can be reproduced.

It's almost impossible to find skirts made specifically for the P2 (an option at the time), as it was the entry car, and most folks that wanted more trim etc. bought a Dodge, DeSoto, or Chrysler.

Dear Mike, sorry, don?t have the needed Logo.

If someone has the logo piece (will a glove box or trunk logo work?) he can make You a good negative silicone impression (even on location without removing it)  in which You can pour a nice plastic positive. Do you think to copy it by copy-milling it from a solid brass bar? You can then  make a wax positive and a lost-wax- casting mould for molting brass too. Ask Your dentist or his tech laboratorians.

As I understand, there are a lot of differently styled logos and characters used for Plymouth over the years. Maybe You should post a foto from the style that fits Your year.

Are originals on the market? Maybe someone visting Hershey?s or Pomona?s finds a pair  for You?
Greetings! Go

Nuts, I have a super pair of 42 Plymouth skirts that have the emblems in perfect shape, but from what I remember, the ones you are looking for are a bit smaller, and sport a different "ship".
Keep trying, I'm sure that you will find someone!
I did see two fellows in Hershey this past year that had your style of skirts. I will search my memory, and notes to see if I made any referance to their names and numbers....

I can provide photos of the Plymouth emblem (and Dodge, DeSoto & Chrysler as well).  Send me your e-mail and I'll find the photos and scan them for you.
