Default Old School marina shop truck???

Hey OSO group... Must like other members here i have a boating hobby and muscle car hobby.

So here is my request, Im building a old school shop truck style hot rod. But i dont want to put a hot rod shop for logo on the door. I want to have a logo for a old school marina. Thinking something Miami Fl but open to all kinda of cool stuff. So im hoping to find a cool name and picture to put on the truck.

Thank for the help.

How old school are you looking for? Fort Apache is a favorite of mine. Maybe something from the old Keikheafer days before Mercury? Tell us about the truck

Yeah, how old is the truck. If it's a 50's truck, the Keikhaefer logo would be cool. A few years ago, there was an Volkswagen bus on ebay that was a Kiekhaefer Mercury salesman truck. It had the coolest patina

I really like this idea! I have visions of building/doing a rat rod truck as well; and my GF is behind the idea to pull her vintage 1965 camper.

My suggestion: go with Mercury/Mercruiser for the theme of the truck, and then accent with a bunch of old boat manufacturer logos: Cigaratte, Apache, Donzi, Formula, Bertram, Magnum, etc...
...maybe on the rear window or tailgate.
