    Default Vintage Ford dealership display

    Has anyone ever seen a vintage 2.3turbo engine display?? I saw one in a antique shop couple years ago.. it was a cardboard display with the front view of a 2.3 turbo engine . It was also battery operated . This was aprox 18” tall and would sit on a countertop etc.. I should have bought it! Does anyone have one?? No luck on eBay or a google search.. please let me know any info. Todd

    I think there was an invisible engine model of it. Ford probably had some cut away props too for the auto shows.

    This was all cardboard with a nice front view illustration and a actual fan assembly that was motorized and showed details of the new turbo engine. Was very cool and I can not find any other info on it.

    Fun to see on utube hobbiests mod these engine models to run at realistic rpms, especially the V8 kits.

    It’s not a plastic model kit.. a cardboard display with a moving fan assembly and it sat in a countertop. Aprox18” tall. Was white with black lettering.

    Have you tried Bob Perkins or Kevin Marti? From what I remember, they collect and display old Ford dealership signs, displays, and memorabilia. Another possibility would be Green Sales out of Ohio http://greensalescompany.com/
