    At one time Dennis Carpenter did carry the 56 Fairlane emblems. I tried to order a set but they were out-of-stock. Last I checked, they were not listed as being avail any longer. BTW, they were a good bit more expensive than the 55 shovelhead design. Some other restro suppliers might carry them, but I haven't checked in a while.
    Thanks, David. I already have V8 emblems, those from the '93-'95 T-Bird (cannot find a pic of them), but I thought those from the Fairlane were very unusual and would consider replacing mine. If you find them anywhere, please let me know. I would definitely order a set, even if I did not keep them.

    Originally, I ordered the '55 emblems from Dennis. They look great on a red/black/merlot car IMO, but for my taste were too heavy and masculine for my bronze, so I sent them back and got a refund. Now I'm reading that the quality is not that good, so I'm glad I did not keep them. I'm still pleased with the very tailored ones I have.

      I looked around and came up with this match on e-bay. Many times you have to watch these deals and they seem to be a bit less than honest brokers. I tried to pick some up from e-bay myself, and item was withdrawn at last minute. Good luck if you are interested but don't be surprised at the price. About what I remember when we were looking.

        Thanks, David. Second look and I changed my mind. Besides, these are not in good condition. BTW, did you see the seller is Dennis Carpenter? These must have been a set that was lying around and got scratched up, now he's trying to ask full price for them .......

              Ed, if you get them, please post a pic of them on your Merlot. I'd love to see how they look mounted.
