Original Supplier Of Foil Emblem Inserts
« on: December 19, 2022, 08:07:09 PM »
Hello,

Do any of you know who was the original supplier of the foil emblem inserts for the '67 Shelbys?  It is my understanding that ACSCO only supplied the plastic emblem "frames".  Please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric

FYI early cars like yours has a slightly different snake artwork and color compared to later foil emblems. Also early emblems were flat unlike later embossed emblems.

I'm pretty sure Tom supplied the completed emblem. They we're still pretty small then and may have had to outsource the inserts. Maybe they will will still know the supplier they got to stamp out the inserts.

  For what it's worth, I was working at LAX for TWA as an aircraft mechanic and one of my peers had a '67 GT500.
  He happened to live in an apartment in Playa Del Rey and one morning, when he was emptying his trash into the
  dumpster, he saw sheets of foil paper. Upon a closer look, they were sheets of the foil inserts, for a '67 GT350.
  However, they had been printed crooked and were unusable. So, he took a sheet for his collection and showed it
  to us. From that, it could be assumed, the producers of the '67 GT350/500 inserts, were somewhere in the local
  area, perhaps close to Lax.

  I vaguely recall we even knew who produced the gas cap emblems.

Hello Everyone,

Still no reply back from Tom McIntyre.  Do any of you based in California have any direct contact with him and could possibly ask him a couple of questions for me?  Please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric
