BET that C is just on the caliente,,,,I have owned mine for so many years,,and after reading this post ,I went out in the garage and stared at for a couple of sec's and I could see the tall skinny C....I just had not payed any mind to it,just took it for piece of chrome,,boy it's narrow and tall.....bet it stands for CALIENTE not comet....( just proves that if you keep an open mind,you can learn something everyday,regardless of age :shock: :) ))thanks and good luck on your hunt...POP

And seems I read somewhere that legend has it that Tall C was really a Tall E for Edsel and when Edsel went away, they took the middle cross mark out of the E for Edsel and it became C for Comet. Least that's what I read somewhere.
