[DeTomaso] Undercarraige emblem

[Larry Stock]

NO, there was no factory original undercarriage plaque, they are all placed by subsequent owners

       Thanks for the replies and explanation to my inquiry. The one on my car
       is screwed to a bracket that attaches to the undercarriage and sticks
       out a couple inches past the sway bar.A
       So my question now is this. Did all cars come with this plaque, whether
       they were glued on or installed on a bracket?
       Thanks again,
       Matt

       No- that plaque is one of two that was originally GLUED to the sheet
       steel rocker coversA in productionA by Ford/DeTomaso. The glue melted
       from heat from hot oil inside the covers, so many were lost. The fancy
       mounting plate system was made by Marino PernaA  of Pantera East
       decades ago, and copied by everyone. Before the mounting plates were
       available, I drilled 2 countersunk holes in a stock plaque and fastened
       it around the rear swaybar using Adel clips and 2 flat-head screws,
       with elastic stop-nuts. Going on 30 yrs and it hasn't fallen off yet.
       The one shown is behind the swaybar. Mine is in front of the swaybar,
       hanging from it.

       A  Hey, just a quick question.A
       A  Does anyone know if that rectangular emblem that says "Detomaso"A I
       see
       A  commonly installed on the lower rear engineA casing a factory part?
       It
       A  faces to the rear just below the sway bar.
       A  Some cars have it and some don't.
       A  Thanks, happy holidays folks!
       A  Matt
