Route 66 Emblem shift knob. Only see the aluminum version on ebay. Checked the usual sources. Anyone know where I can get one that is the classic ball shape . Thanks.
I was talking with a hamber......and he was taking certain things (insects,money,etc,etc) and sitting them into shifters(different clear colored resins(I think!) ...damn...I can't remember who it was........ But you could certainly get a rte 66 emblem(keychain) and do it that way.
Check out this rare knob i got...George told me that he made these about 30 years ago and made very few of them. I was told that he made them for the Starbird Anniversary show and they were gone in minutes and he said that lots of people have asked him to put out more and he wont do it. I showed it to Winfield and he was shocked at how i got one and he didn't... Just my Luck i guess! I thought that this would look hot on a Black chopped Merc with white interior. check it out...
Found these guys who will embed items into knobs. Your idea of a key chain emblem sounds spot on. Thanks. http://http://www.epcomfg.com/shiftknobs-embedment.html#embedded http://www.koolknobs.com/index.html
Thanks Man, I showed it to the guys at the Barris booth at the Mooneyes show a few years ago and they didn't have a clue about it...They said "Man, That was way before our time" so i had to ask George himself at the GNRS and he ran it down for me... It's for sale but it won't go cheap! either that or i start looking for a Merc to build...hahahaha
Found the Barris knobs for sale on this site while looking for the Route 66. Must be repops. http://www.creative-car-concepts.com/page5.html
Yeah i think they are repop'ng because when i showed George the one i got...he had to look at it real good ...to make sure that the crest was really his and he told me that it was a different crest (an older version) I guess he made a changes to it or something.
flameball.com does the knobs with the little pewter figurines embedded in them... maybe they can do a custom deal for you?
Went to this website and inquierd about the Barris knob. I was told that it has been discontinued due to License Infingement and they are no longer available. Hhhhmmmm Re-Pop's? I think so!
