Anyone have seen that sign before. Measure 18x20 inches metal. Need information

Fordomatic? Maybe fords 1950's automatic transmission ? My first thought was towards implement stuff but that was wrong. Neat sign.

It mounted on a Ford truck sign from the mid 1950's and was used to 1960 I believe.

The hood badge Travis pictured was used on Ford trucks during the same time period. Around '61 they went to an elongated version of that badge for 6 cylinder trucks while the V8 trucks had a similar badge with V8 instead of the lightning bolt and gear. I believe those were used until the end of the '66 model year.

That sign and badge have nothing to do with the Fordomatic trans.

My picture is a sign 18x20 inch. Is not a emblem. Anyone have see that sign before

Yes, I believe most Ford Dealerships had such logos in sign form in their Showrooms; mostly much larger in size. (based on personal observations and images in New Car Brochures, I used to bring home and/or sent to my Parents)

Signs as small as yours, I saw; Were in Salesman Offices/hanging in the background in Parts Departments and/or in Finance Department Offices... I hung around a lot of Gas Stations, more than a few Repair Garages and a couple Dealerships while growing up in Kelso/Longview

I used to hang around; Mason Ford (they had a larger version of the sign, in question, in their Service Department up until the early 70s) and Bud Clary Chevrolet (went to work part time in their Parts Department during the Summer of 1969)

They were used as Bob Richards said, and they were also mounted on large signs as I had previously posted. They were made of various materials. Plastic, masonite and metal were all used.
