Would anyone be able to help me locate an original dealer logo from Fuller Ford in Cincinatti for the back of my 69? I reached out to the dealership, and followed  ebay for years, no luck. Thanks in advance.

Great thread to start. Many old dealerships have gone by the wayside.
How about Schumacher Forrd in Evanston, Illinois?

How about an East Point Ford in Atlanta???

  Folks, not every Dealer had the chrome script.  Many used decals.  Jack Loftus for instance never had  Loftus license plate frame so I stopped looking.

Also consider the holes script would leave.

My car was sold by a non-Shelby dealer -- not a transfer from another Shelby dealer, as the Marti indicates it went straight to this dealer. This dealer used a multi-hole chrome badge/script.

Anyway, you need to find out where the dealer might have placed the script.
My dealer would have placed it lower left, likely above the bumper.
However, the taillights prevented that placement.
Another option might have been in the valance.
In my case I have an original correctly date coded valance and no holes there either.

Since the car was a special order to this non-Shelby dealership I suspect the owner requested they not add the script.

Coralsnake has a few scripts for 1968 and up Shelbys.

For California (and some other) frames, check http://www.calicenseplates.com/ford-frames-listing.html

I have seen them in lower valances / and drilled right into the deck lid  :o

I have collected a bunch of metal ones thru the years . But I think by 67-68 many dealers were using decals
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

Very good observations. And history lesson.
Thank you.

I placed an ad in the Houston area for years looking for Republic Ford.  I never got one response.  I now have ads for J.D. Ball in the Miami area.  I'm thinking junk yards might be the best best for actual scripts if they indeed used them.

Brian, I'm sure you're way ahead of me, but have you tried asking FL SAAC Tony?
With his connections, and being from the area, he might be able to help you one way or another.
