In 1950, Ford debuted a new red, white, and blue heraldic crest that, according to the company, was “derived by Ford stylists from an authentic coat of arms which dates back to the 18th century England.” The Lions denoted dauntless courage, and the colors – silver – peace and sincerity, red – warrior strength, blue – truth and loyalty. This rare Masonite sign hung inside a Ford dealership in the 1950s and is ready to adorn the walls of your collection! It measures 38.5 inches tall by 36 inches wide, with minor wear on the outer edges, including paint chips and masonite wear. Light scratches under close inspection, with wear marks on the face as well. It has a hole in the middle of the name “Ford,” with minor chipping around it. A maker’s mark is stamped on the reverse side, but is unreadable. This piece of history is rarely seen and will make a fantastic addition to your collection. 21434-RPP
