At the swap meet Sunday, I bought what I think may be a late '36 black shift knob with the V8 logo. Height and shapewise, it's in between a regular '36 knob and a '37/38 knob. In other words, not as round as the earlier '36 w/o the logo, but more rounded (taller) than the '37/38. Does this sound about right? I've never seen one before that I can recall, and there's no picture in the EV8 35/36 book. My only concern is the 8 in the V8 logo looks like 2 zero's that don't quite touch rather than the correct version, which makes me think it might be aftermarket. Thoughts?

A photo would help. Ford was very specific in the way they made their V-8 logo. If the logo is different than any of the V-8 logos used by Ford on their shift knobs I suspect it is not original. Even in the old days people were afraid of copyright infringement, so they made things just slightly different to avoid a lawsuit. This message was edited by trjford8 on 6-7-11 @ 8:18 PM

Here's the photo. Most likely aftermarket I'm thinking... http://www.hotrodhucksters.com/chad/36/v8shiftknob.jpg This message was edited by Django on 6-14-11 @ 9:19 AM

That's a good looking knob, but it's definitely aftermarket. The 8 is made with two "o"s
