Where does this script go? Must be for the '54 Coronado, if it is truly a DeSoto item???
Never have seen anything like this on a 54 or 55 DeSoto Coronado. It's interesting that in the description that the placement on the vehicle is "front" and other part number is listed as "Vintage Chryco Export Deluxe". Could there have been an export Coronado? Mac
Indeed, this is a curiosity. It does not seem to match the badging I have seen on the Plymouth or Dodge Coronado export vehicles, either. Allpar.com does list a few examples and gives a brief history of these cars.

I have dealt with Seaplym in the past and found them to represent their parts well. I do not believe they would put a Mopar box in the pic if it did not come out of that box.
" (Mopar & fuse packages in pic are for display only) "
They clearly state that the tiny box in the picture has nothing to do with this Coranado script. I suspect it is a Coranado radio nameplate.
Have a nice day

I know one thing for sure that script didn't fit in that box.
I did not read all the disclaimers in particular concerning the box. I could not tell how big the box is with the pic my PC gave me. I would call Seaplym to see what they know about it if someone is interested in buying it.
My guess was motorcycle trim for a front fender but I don't find a model with that name. There is a speed boat with that name.
