Oval Evolution - Ford Oval Badges - Blimey how many differences are there?!

I've only got 1 ford badge on my MK1 cortina, an only on 1 side, although I seen there's quite a few with just 1 badge? Coincidence or on purpose?? Also to upset you more, mines square 😂😂

They only fitted one badge on the Tina, see cost cutting started a long time ago...lol

I’ve just got a couple of your last pic from mk2 mania, certainly not a crisp Ford emblem plus they are a darker blue to 60/70s cars as what they’re advertised  to fit.

Yes I did notice they were incredibly dark. They almost look black sometimes in photos. I could probably cope with that though but the odd placement of the Ford wording is just a but too dodgy for me.

How about these on the bay at the moment?

They are the right size so I probably should purchase one to expand to my list. If you look closely though they are like the last ones on my list that you see on Ka's and later. They arent as bulbous but its more like a flat enameled badge with no acrylic covering which gives depth to a silver or chrome Ford script underneath whereas an enameled badge the blue and silver ford script are both at the same surface level.

I only started with the more common 114mm x 45mm ovals but in time it may be worth expanding the thread to include wing badges like yours and the sill type you see on OSF's of the period.
