Hi guys:  Once again I call on the 1937 experts here (Scott, Ty and others-- you know who you are!)

I recently got an original trunk "vee" emblem for my Series 60 coupe.  But the trunk lid has no holes in it for one (either didn't have one? or the holes were filled, though I see no evidence of that.) and I need to know the location on the trunk lid.  Perhaps a measurement from the center of the trunk handle keyed lock to the bottom of the vee emblem would work.  Maybe from the bottom of the trunk lip to the bottom of the vee.  Any ideas?

No holes because a 60 series never had any 'V' emblems on the trunk.

Thanks Steve, It's a learning curve.  My first pre-war Cad...

For some reason, Harley Earl did not like emblems on  some coupe trunk lids. If they didn't have them on the Series 60, it is likely that this practice lasted until the 1941 Series 62 coupe/convertible coupe. As Steve can attest, the two 1941 Series 61 coupes I have owned did have the usual 1941 winged crest.

well, I can tell you my coupe will have one!  This is not an original bone stock car so 100% authenticity is not an issue for me.  It will be a nice car and it will all look correct but some things like the trunk emblem will be a departure that still looks correct and good to me.

Thanks for the input guys, great to have such a good amount of knowledge and support in a club.

Be careful! Suddenly you might get 3 offers from Russia, but no pictures because the camera's broken, or lost, or no batteries. But a moneygram will reserve it!   Joe G

Ken already has one Joe. He wasn't asking to buy one.
