Re: [FWDLK] 56 Dodge Texan on Ebay

[Bill Watson <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Believe it or not, but the emblems are mentioned in the 1956 parts catalogue
:

Ornament on hood for "Texan", D63-1 : 1706 730
"V" ornament on hood for "Texan", D63-1 : 1706 738
"Texan" nameplate on trunk lid, D63-1 : 1833 948

The hood emblem for the D63-500 was  : 1599 218
The trunk emblem for the D63-500 was  : 1599 218
