Amc Rambler American Hood Ornament Insert Emblem 1961-1963 American Motors Red on 2040-parts.com
Hudson, Wisconsin, United States

This auction is for a custom reproduction billet aluminum Hood Ornament Insert (in RED) for the 1961, 1962 and 1963 Rambler Americans. Please Note: this auction listing is ONLY for the Red Aluminum insert, it does NOT include the chrome hood ornament. I have the ornament itself pictured so you can see what the insert looks like when it's actually put into the ornament. Also note that the original inserts were black in color not red. I made this one in red because I thought that the red "popped" more than black. It all started about 8 years back when my own '62 american was missing it's Hood Ornament Insert. The hood ornament looked downright ugly without the insert (I included a picture of the hood ornament missing it's insert). I first went to a popular online rambler parts supplier to see if they had one. They said they had a "reproduction" of one, and I bought one. When I received it, it was just a stinking vinyl sticker! It lasted all of 2 months on the car. One high pressure car wash, and "adios" expensive vinyl decal. Being a long-time CNC machinist, i decided I could do better than that. In fact some of you may remember seeing my '64-'69 Rambler American Hood Emblems also. I took some billet aluminum, and machined the raised rambler "R" logo into it. I notched it, just like the original emblems were, and painted them Red. I used a "Multi-Metal" epoxy to bond my emblem into the hood ornament, and there it stayed. It was not coming out. And it looked great. I no longer have that car, but I do still have a few emblems left that I've decided to list at no reserve and at a VERY low starting bid. Again, this is machined from solid billet aluminum. it's not just a vinyl decal. it's not some thin stamped metal piece (It's about 3/16 inch thick!!!). I hope the pictures give a good idea of just how nice of a piece this is. If you still have an "empty" hood ornament on your 61-63 rambler American. Here's your chance to get a nice looking aluminum reproduction for a fraction of what a NOS, or USED emblem would go for (if you can even find one). |

New Land Rover Concept at Frankfurt – Project Icon lives?
Thu, 04 Aug 2011New Land Rover Defender Concept expected at Frankfurt Last week AE ran a report that suggested Land Rover were considering dumping the iconic Defender from their range as it was perhaps too difficult to find a cost-effective way to update it. Which we didn’t buy for a minute. As far as we can see, the Land Rover Defender is so iconic that Tata would have to find a way to keep it viable and in production even if they lost money on every Defender they built.
Jaguar F-Type: The Expert opinion (video)
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Jaguar gave Martin Brundle, Christian Danner and Justin Bell the new F-Type to play with at Snetterton. Their glowing praise augers well for the F-Type’s sales. A spiritual successor to the legendary E-Type, the F-Type is the first real sports car Jaguar has produced for forty years, and they intend the F-Type as the beacon to hang the Jaguar brand on (if that’s not a mixed metaphor).
