Porsche 356 Hood Crest on 2040-parts.com
Pittsburg, Kansas, US
I have for sale a Porsche 356 orange-bar hood crest. Funnily enough, this was installed on the one of the sail panels of my old Porsche 914. When I restored the car, I took the emblem off, but I kept it with the hopes of doing something with it. Anyway, time has passed, and I have never done anything with it. From my research, I believe that this is a reproduction crest. I have an original orange-bar crest that came off the other side of the 914, and it is distinctly different (also for sale on E-bay). The orange bars in that crest are very orange, with no pebbling beneath it. This badge is definitely red, with pebbling in the stripes. You can verify this in my pictures. It is about 1 5/8" by 1 1/8". However, I do think that this is an old reproduction. I truly believe it was made in the early-to-late '70s. .
It has a beautiful patina, and there is no damage to the crest. None of the paint is chipped. The mounting stud is still in great shape. Those of you that know these cars know how odd it looks to see a fresh, shiny reproduction badge on a 60-year old car. This badge is old enough to have the right patina, but not so old that the price would be out of reach. It still looks very appropriate.
Please know that, as always, you are buying this emblem as is, where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Thanks for looking!

Tesla Model S outsells Mercedes & BMW say CNN. Rubbish.
Tue, 14 May 2013We don’t have much time for the push to make the electric car a replacement for the ICE car. But we do applaud – and covet – the Tesla Model S for its technical ability and performance. And its tax breaks.
Lancia Musa and Delta plans
Fri, 14 Sep 2007By Guy Bird Motor Shows 14 September 2007 09:55 Why should I care about Lancia – or its revised Musa? Because Lancia is returning to the UK in autumn 2008 after what will be a 14-year absence. You might care a little less about the Fiat Idea-derived supermini-MPV Musa shown at Frankfurt – as it’s only a revised model and this version won’t be making its way to these shores.
