+1, that's what I was thinking. Most people forget that Ford used checkered flags before Chevy made them popular by putting them on as emblems with the engine size in between the flags.
I think they look cool, but I like the "powered by Ford" emblems that the new Shelby GTs have on their flanks better.

I used to have a set on my 64 Galaxie "Thunder Bolt Look" Drag car, except mine had 460 for the engine. Looked pretty cool............

I like the look, I saw a legend lime the other day and had it under the gt symbol but his had the 281 and flags. It looked sharp, different, and unique. I think it would look great on a shaker hood!

Rude - possibly? But if you post a "what do you think of this" thread on the internet, you've gotta be prepared for the gamut of resposes from "I love it" to "that's the gayest thing ever". Nothing wrong with people giving their honest opinion, andsome of the funniest threads on here are the "rude" ones. Just check out the other current thread on here with the guy looking to put on Superman fender badges. If only Leno and Letterman were this funny!

I actually had the same idea, but I have not been able to find the badges --

So I think it looks great!!

I realize this is a retro emblem, like someone above said. They also noted that FOrd used checkered flags before Chevy. Probably true.

But I'm more a realist/rational person, and just because something is retro or true or whatever does not mean it will go over well in real life. I'm a car enthusiast, I think.... And even I have no clue what old Ford logos look like - at all, so when I see this I see something that looks like a Vette logo. The majority of the population will be inthe same spot as me when they see this in public and wonder what the guy was thinking.

Its like fake scoops... They're retro indeed, but the regular people population that will see it in on the street will think very low of it.

Now, if you don't care about what people think then fine, just ignore this view on it. But since you posted a thread on it then I'm assuming you really do care and that this is important.

Annnyyywwwaayyysss, I dont seem to mind that the regular people population will wonder why I put a pointless piece of plastic on the bottom of my front bumper, so clearly we are entitled to have a little of our own fun.

I got mine because it was accurate and different. But looking at it on the plenum cover... I guess it just didn't work! Looks kinda like a bat, huh?
I'll get around to peeling it off someday.

This is what was on my Galaxie: except instead of SOHC, it was 460.

I like that look, too. I would not change it -- IMO.

I think it looks good on that plenum cover too.
