Looks like " . . der . . " It is made of metal, not plastic. It was found under a torn up road that is in an older part of town. I'll be very impressed if anyone can identify the model of car this is from. I have no idea.

Thanks for all the guesses! I think Rubicon nailed it.

You're right, could be dealers name, didn't think of that. I can't think of a car name or make that has der. Belvedere is a good guess.

Ah, but riddle me this:

When is a Fender not part of a car?

Though the "e" ain't quite right in this one now that I see it bigger. Hmmmm.

When "fender" is on a guitar amp! Good one. I'll tell you what, that looks just like it. I assumed it was a car piece since it was on the road. There is a bar with live entertainment across the street so it COULD be from a guitar amp! Funny.

That was the first thing that came to my mind too.

Okay, I looked at it closer. Thun_der_bird? Nope. The "r" is probably the last letter since it has a smooth edge. It definitelly had letters before the "d" since it has broken edges. So it has to be something like " _ _ d e r" It could be Marauder. I didn't realize that Marauder was an older car, I just looked it up. Could be.

If I am not mistaken, the link between the "r" and the "b" on the Thunderbird logo came off the top of the "r", not the bottom. It may be different on the older models, though. ;)
