Does anyone know if the clear plastic emblem cover for a 53 hood is avalable any were? Thanks Bill
What do you need, the medallion or the medallion retainer? Is this for a Firedome or a Powermaster model? I am not familiar with the clear plastic cover you reference. Mac
The medallion on my 53 is cracked or crazed .The car is a firedome. Bill
Bill,
At one time George Laurie had medallions for 53 & 54 Firedomes on his list of items he could supply. George's information is available under the vendor tab on this web site. I had good luck with George on my 55 medallion about 10 years ago. A lot of people since have had trouble getting their items from him. I would try to contact him. It would be interesting to hear if he can be contacted and if he is still in business.

I've bought one from them years ago and quality seemed to be good.
