Good find! I am surprised that no one has responded to your question regarding the badge on the grill. It looks like something off an old Chrysler... I have a question (or 2) for you. When do you find the time to do your pics and daily narration? And work on the car to boot!
I notice Fern has a Plymouth trim piece on the steering wheel. If you plan to change that out at some point, please keep me in mind. I have the same steering wheel and need that trim!
Last, how did Fern get her name?

Hey C,
Some difficulties sometimes rembering to take the camera out to the garage with me and rembering to stop once in a while and get a good pic at a certain step! LOL!!
I find especially in the colder weather, I have a tendancy to take a break on the average of every 2 hours and go in the house for a sit down and coffee or beer. When I sit I'll try to be prepping pics I already dumped off of camera in the AM.
I try to make the my restore thread a little different. I have a weird sense of humor and bore very easy. Just trying to make it a litlle more entertaining and I find the humor I write cheers me up too so I don't get so frustrated all the time doing the actual work on the car. I'm on the computer anyway alot slingin A body parts for a friend of mine, so when I get done with the business side I'll go over to Fern's thread and try to get everyone caught up on days activities!
You'll have to ask ABodyBetty bout the name. We usually brain storm and make a list of names and pick the one that fits the car the most.
Baby (64 avitar car) got her name because she's so sweet, dependable, and rides as smooth a babies behind!!!.......Besides, THAT IS ONE SWEET CAR!!! Makes you WANT to "baby" her! LOL!!
BOF (67 ABB's car "Bride of Frankenstein") Started out as Veronica. At least that's the name on her show poster!!! She turned into "BOF" due to the constant fix, test drive, break down, cycle she has and she was so butchered once we got into her. I still haven't stopped fixing on her. She runs for 4 weeks, down 2, like clock work!! (been doing this now for 11 months) So, "BOF" Mean ***** with attitude made with different parts from cars unknown! She pisses me off so bad most of the time I want to light a highway flair & toss it in and walk away! She's mean, evil, fast, loud, and hates to be passed on the road by any make of car!!
Fern, I think it was the color.
If you find out more about the badge on the grill give me a shout out. I want to hand paint it back to original.
The trim on the stering wheel? I thought that was the old Dodge logo, the 3 panel sail. I klnow is on more plymouths but I have seen on some Darts. Is this not original to Fern? Didn't look like anyone ever washed her let alone change parts!!
Thanks for the shout out! Always love talking about the kids. I did have to say though, even though we have alot of fun with the names, they all have their own personalities and quirks!:-D
Oh hey C, forgot to tell you, it's not to bad finding the time, I only seem to average 3-4 hours sleep a day. (back starts hurtin and wakes me up) + still on layoff from job, gotta keep busy!! Livin'large & Livin the dream! John.....
