>I know there are repro hood emblems on the market now but my pockets are not deep enough to afford one.? I'm wondering if anyone on the list has had any luck with plastic casting or metal etching, or if someone knows a friend who can perhaps set up a CNC machine to make a stylized "R" emblem.?? The blank pad on the hood of my Rambler sure looks bare.?? Course there's always Tom J.s little piston mascot......

As it happens, I ordered one of the 65 emblems for a 65 American I had back in 2008, but then a guy came by with cash to buy the car before I received the emblem -- so it's sitting in my parts crate right now.  I'd be happy to sell it to you for the $42.99 including postage that I paid.  It's still in the original package in which I received it.

This is the fellow who made them (he told me he makes them in batches), although he doesn't seem to have any at the moment:

His name is Jim, and his direct email is <jschwartz73@xxxxxxxxx>.  He was selling them at $45, but he gave me a discounted price ($40) since I was an AMCRC member (as he is too).

But buy mine.  I'd like to get it off my shelf.

I'd rather push a Rambler than drive a Toyota.
