When I bought my car, both of my high beam lamps had the etched FoMoCo logos, but one of the low beams lacked the logo. Recently, I have found a low beam etched FoMoCo lamp and installed it. Now, all four headlamps bear the etched FoMoCo logo. Most would never notice the headlights, but I know that the logos are there and these little things make me happyRMAENV wrote:lol ekm.. Funny you mentioned the Ford Logo in the headlight. I just noticed the other day that the high beam on the passenger side on mine might be an original as I noticed the Ford logo on the headlight. My car has 50,500 miles.

Re: Page 9: Need Real Pics of Front Ends of 66 thru 69s
I realize this is 8 years out of discussion, but I do want to chime in about one subtle difference between the '66 and '67 grilles. We all know that '67 has more horizontal bars (12, as opposed to 9 in the '66 grille), and the vertical ones are also made to show more prominently...however, there is something else. If you examine the side-views of the respective grilles closely, you will notice that the '67 grille was designed with a slight convex curvature to it, which made the central area jut out just a bit more than the edges, whereas the '66 grill is straight. The straight-vs.-curved profile also applies to the headlight frames of the respective grilles. It's not something that is immediately noticeable, especially from straight-front views, but it's there.
