1967 GT 500 Center Caps
« on: March 18, 2020, 01:16:50 PM »
You can barely see the faded gold emblems on my 1967 GT 500 center caps. I see that Tony Branda sells sticker decals for 5 spoke center caps. He also sells, as does CJ's, replacement center caps as a set of four. Did the gold caps really come from the factory as insert stickers? Thanks.

You could get emblems by them selves and also get the caps separate when ordering replacements through the Ford dealer back in the day .

FYI the emblems that are reproduced are typically a dramatic different shade compared to the originals.

The gold shade is way off from the Shelby/Ford parts. If you do happen to buy the center cap emblems I suggest using an adhesive silicone. Just a dab. Adhesive doesn't work well. Especially on originals.
