I have a 55 Ford Fordoor Sedan. Are these the correct emblems for it his car?

Depends on whether it is a Mainline, Customline or Fairlane?

The above photo shows the various body styles available for the 1955 Fords. Which model do you have?

Can't get the photos to work right. Hood emblem is a shield similar to a 1950 Ford. The trunk emblem is a one piece with the key and shield connected together. I think that emblem is for a Mainline.

I did manage to get the car photo to post on a separate thread. It's not a Mainline or Customline. Looks just like a Fordor Fairlane Sedan. Does have a Mainline emblem on the trunk.

Decided to keep the old bezels. I like the one from the Mainline since it has the key lock as part of the bezel. Don't reproduce them and used ones are expensive. Found one rechromed for $150 + $13 shipping and it was not perfect plus no key cylinder. So, instead I took mine off car, removed key cylinder, removed cylinder door and getting both pieces rechromed for $55 to $75. Can put my cylinder back in and reinstall key door for that price so think I will go with that.

The boot lock you have is a unique piece of hardware.

Hard to find one in good condition.
