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!

VW to unveil Beetle Dune concept at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, 09 Jan 2014The jury is out as to whether Volkswagen's Beetle Dune concept is more Frank Herbert or Bruce Meyers. Equipped with all mod cons, it’s a far cry from the simple, tough desert-race-inspired Bugs that popped up like aggro sandworms during the 1970s. On the other hand, it's still got four gasoline-burning cylinders and two-wheel drive.
