Where To Buy V8 Emblem For 1936 Cabriolet

[Ratatat]

I've been looking for this V8 emblem for my 36 Club Cabriolet hood and I can't seem to find a replacement. As you can see it is held in place with two screws and is separate from the rest of the ornament.
Anybody know where I can find one?
Thanks

What you have is a broken hood ornament and someone made those parts to repair the broken V8. Most parts houses have replacements of the entire ornament.

NO, that's not what I have, and what I have is supposed to be original to the car.
The fourth picture is what Drake sent. Obviously it's not even close to what I have. It's not long enough and it doesn't have the provision for the dog. Also, in mine, the Ford logo is part of the ornament and is not a screw or pop out.
Anybody know whats going on?

Your original ornament besides having the tips of the "V" broken off has the aftermarket greyhound mounted on it so its in 2 pieces..There should be 2 screws that fasten it to the ornament.The Drake ornament will fit.Remove the Greyhound,pop off the Ford emblem(It has a clip and snaps on). There is a screw on each side right when you lift the hood in front.Lift both sides of your hood a little more and there are 2 screws that hold the hood hinge bracket and the ornament sits under that then to the radiator.The SS trim in front will have to be tweaked a bit to get the ornament off as the tips at the emblem slip into them.It helps having an extra pair of hands.You shouldn't have to remove the hood to get the ornament off.Here is a pic of my 36 5W with a drake ornament on it.
.I sold the car 5 yrs ago.I have done this many a times

Here is what a typical aftermarket greyhound looks like before it is mounted to the V-8 emblem....(2) screws..look for them.

OK, now it's a little more clear as to whats going on.
Thanks for making it understandable.

From my point of view the Grey-Hound Dog was not a very popular accessory on the '36 Fords. It was more common to see the Dog on the '33-34-35 Fords because they had an external radiator cap. The '36 ornament is much more attractive than the earlier ones and therefore don't need improvement.
The Grey-Hound was originally a Lincoln ornament from the early '30's...

Blucar, The 35 Ford also had a hidden radiator cap. Its also important to note that Ford of Canada supplied a Greyhound with all deluxe Fords when they introduced the new wood grained dash in mid 1936.
