I googled and got nothing. Maybe you have to drive down the highway and stop at one of the stores on the route. There has to be something out there.

The Nebraska History Museum recently acquired this radiator emblem which advertises the Lincoln Highway.
Lincoln Highway radiator emblems were distributed perhaps as early as 1913 by the Lincoln Highway Association. The first one was a brass oval, which included a map of the United States with the route indicated. A contributor of any amount of money reportedly received one of these emblems along with a certificate.
The red, white, and blue rectangular emblems were advertised in the first Complete Official Road Guide published in 1915. A 1916 ad indicated that by sending in $2.50 one would receive the Complete Official Road Guide, a pocket map of the route, and a radiator emblem. By 1918 these items were sent to those who became Sustaining Members by paying $5 in annual dues. The words “Sustaining” and “Member” were added to the emblem.
