Has anyone ever heard of or do you know if gold sail panel emblems were offered on the Tbird?
nope,, be first!
a good oem color match for a "gold" is the color "Sunburst Gold",, small cans can be found specifically at adance auto. its gold perfectly matches the 20th anny cougar color
I saw some NOS gold emblems on Ebay a few days ago. I never gave them a second look. Said they were for the Fox Birds. may be worth looking up.
I'm not aware of any factory '87-'88 Thunderbird emblem that was gold, just chrome.
This goes back about 20 years or so but sometimes dealers (or the car owners) used to have some chrome emblems re-plated gold. We would have a guy come to the body shop and he would hook up his device, I assume it gave the emblem some sort of charge, and turn them gold for us. They looked factory when done.
Well I'm the one that purchased them from eBay.They are the sail panel emblems and are Gold in factory Ford packaging and it looks like the factory produced them as they don't appear to have been done as a re-done piece.Ill post some pics when I can figure out how to do so.Thanks for the responses.
