Sill Plate emblem changes??

[acman63]

does anyone have pics of original cars with original un touched sill plate emblems?

[roddster]

  Give me a few days.  I still have the original sill plates up in the garage.  BUT: they are the 66 style as the early cars came that way.  Still need  a photo or are you looking for the official 67 style?

If acman63 doesn't need the pictures of an early 67 door sill, I do. When you get a chance.

Jim here are pictures of two different styles/versions I found in the collection of pictures. Only had one example of the first one

First from a double digit car and another from later - almost mid production


Hope this helps

It was my understanding that the first '67's got the last '66 version door sill emblem (will find a photo to post) then the snake two lines of text version.

Hello Everyone,

Here is part of an out-take photo taken by Motor Trend on 12/12/66 that shows the late '66 style door sill emblem on 0100.

Thanks,

Although the 66 version was used first the single line version that Jeff S. posted was last for a total of three.

Just to be clear.  the plates on 100  are the same as the real late 66 emblems.  Most of the 66s  has the single line with the raised CS

Yes late 66 as in the picture.

Hello Jim and Bob,

I edited my post to add "late" to help alleviate any confusion.

Thanks,

First from a double digit car and another from later - almost mid production   I was going to post a picture of those sills and Jeff beat me to it. I recognize that worn out sill and red banded box in the second picture. I have had those in storage for a very long time, if they are not mine I have some that are a match to them. As always thanks guys for the information to bring our treasures back to life properly !


Hope this helps

0066 has the late '66 style. One is in good condition, the other not so much. Does anyone know if these are generally available in a good quality repro or, God forbid, NOS?

I have one on ebay  right now.  advanced search by seller acman63  Link  https://www.ebay.com/itm/282827537316   BTW Ive probably owned a couple hundred nos sill emblems in the last 42 years  and Ive never seen a NOS  early 66 single line plate with raised CS   Im not sure they were ever serviced

It doesn't seem logical to go from the CS version with two lines of text:
"Shelby American, Inc.
Los Angeles California"
(since they added the second line after the earlier CS versions that didn't have the extra text) then go to the version for the '67's which swapped the Snake for the CS and then delete the second line of text.  ????

Is more likely (?) that the snake version without the location text was later since they were maybe not sure where the cars would be from but it wasn't going to be Los Angeles, California.  Once it was also known to not be "Shelby American Inc." but "Shelby Automotive" the Snake one line Shelby American Inc. versions were liquidated to service replacements?
