Has anyone ever personally observed a Ford Script/logo on a headlight bar? I have no memory of seeing one. I had a report today of one and remain very skeptical, unless it's from a 27.
 
Many early headlight bars have Ford script on them. Most have it in several places. I have several of them
 
Thanks everyone! I am now looking for an early May 1930 headlight bar with a Ford script logo. I have two bars with no logo or part numbers.
 
If you ever come to terms with selling one, please put my name in the hat. I need one for an early 30 roadster.
 
Our 6-21-28 touring has ford on it at least in two places

Do you know when the script bar was taken out of usage? Or was that another June 28 item to fall off the cars like the script junction box covers? Since I am still awaiting the arrival of my service bulletins can I get a wee bit of help?

Just wondering if I need to check my bar and see if is scripted. Still trying to narrow down an actual build date, and getting closer all the time.

Is there a date on your gas tank?
If so it's located just over the bottom lip on the driver's side inside the engine compartment.

Between the SERVICE BULLETINS and RESTORATION GUIDELINES you should be able to pinpoint the date of production within a few weeks I'd guess during 1928-9 at least.

Heh, yea, the date for the engine build says 7-11-28, and the tank date is stamped 7-20-28. and it was assembled in the Chicago plant with CHI6474 stamped under the seat.

So, mid to late July 1928 is as close as I can get. I would like to get a bit closer, and I am finding little things, like the holes in both the body and frame for the left hand ebrake, with it center mounted above the shift tower. Now, to find Service Bulletins that tell when these things ended and the others started...
 
My 28 Phaeton has a tank date of 9-27-28 and still has the cover plate over the hole that was used for the earlier left hand parking brake. So that one item won't pin down the build date very much.

Mine is about the same date, a few days later. It has the holes and plate, and self equalizing brakes with separate E brake. But I never noticed any thing on the head light bar.
 
I just finished reading "How to restore the Ford Model A" by Floyd Clymer publish date 1961. I immensly enjoyed the read. My dad started his first restoration on a 1922 T with a Clymer book back in 1962. If you run across one of these at a swap meet grab it, a quick read and a pioneer to our Judging Standards and Service Bulletins. I have yet to ever find information on Scripts and Parts. Hmm. Uncle Bill W. You reading this? Time to refill your pen!

I should have been more specific about the script headlamp bar I have. It's one I bought from a friend. The one on my 9-27-28 is plain.
