GBOTM ENTRIES - Aug. '20 - Original Dealer Badges

[GP403]

The GBotM Theme for August is.... Original Dealer Badges.

So, for your car to be entered in the voting thread, you need TWO pix, one of your car, preferably with the badge in sight, and one closeup of said dealer badge, 99.9% chance that's going to be on the trunk lid/tailgate or rear valence someplace.

and go!

I'll leave this open until we get at least 5 cars. We'll see what happens after that and go from there.

Not exactly a badge, but that's what it got when it was new.

The old timer that bought this thing new would either be rolling over in his grave or jackin’..............or both. 🤪

This one ended up back in New York. Just not the city.

That's one clean Monte, Bob.
Is that original paint? If so, that's awesome.
And it's a car from Queens.

If you read this dealer badge too fast it looks like it says RedNeck

Thanks Jack.
Yes most of it is original paint. Right side quarter and front fenders have some minor repair work in them.
Made its way from Jamaica New York to Virginia then out to Colorado where the second care taker entrusted me to be caretaker number three.
Funny part it came off the Oshawa assembly line 2200 VIN units apart from the car it replaced.

It's amazing how the car came full circle and ended up back in NY state. It looks like a car that was well cared for. For a NYC car originally, it's in great shape. I'm guessing it didn't spend that much time in NYC....which helped preserve it.
