Re: Field find
Hey Charlie....I think I have a Carter Chevrolet from Bonham Texas and I believe it was chrome but was actually installed with double back tape. I will see if I can dig it up and take pics of the front and back. When I lived in Phoenix I was a junk yard dog and collected anything Chevrolet dealer related. I would love to see this emblem go on a COPO. Let me know if your interested.

Re: Field find
Please post a pic if you have it. I have two holes on my tail panel.
|
Re: Field find
I think these were pegged from the company that made them as you can see the rear pic where the double back tape is. I can get the measurements if need be. This emblem is in good shape but I would rechrome for a COPO show car. Later Kim https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...mblems_026.jpg

Re: Field find
Hey now!!!!

Re: Field find
Hey Charley...I will check them in the Monday and let you know.

Re: Field find
Hey Charley....The embossed area where the pegs would have been is 5-1/4". The emblem is 5-3/4" long and 1" tall on the narrow ends and 1-3/4" tall on the center bulge. This emblem came off a an early 70s Caprice that ended up in a Phoenix wrecking yard in the middle 80s https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...mblems_038.jpg

Re: Field find
Oh well good luck I tried. If it were mine that would be trivial. I have not seen any smaller versions of these. Its possilble they were the same size on the emblem itself only the castings for the pins were different. If need be you know where to find one.
|
Re: Field find
LOL....Even though the holes are different I'll buy it from you. Better to have something.
|
Re: Field find
Those 2 little round dents are for ejector pins - to get the die casting out of the mold. Most likely the pinned emblem was the same size.

Re: Field find
I'll send you a PM and work out arrangments. You would be surprised how many I purchased for my car until a better one came along. I know by collecting these things over the years that alot of dealers went to the double back tape so they would not have to drill holes anymore would be my guess. A few customers that I have heard stories about refused delivery due to this oversight (drilling and mounting dealer emblems). I thought about what bergy said and took a single edge blade and peeled back one side of the tape about 1 inch but could not find any castings for the pegs. I have seen where the pegs were ground or filed down and double back tape was put in place. Anyhow Thanks

Re: Field find
my copo is the latest ive seen i think, its a 10E, or 5th week of oct or 1st week of november.
got the pop to prove it. not many after 10E ive looked for a long time, heard of one later than mine but didnt see a pop plate on it. |
Re: Field find
ronnie - - what is the date stamp and casting on the BE rear?
|
Re: Field find
So your COPO is later than N709729? I've seen that car several times and talked to the owner. He has ownership history all the way back to day 1 along with original dealer paperwork. He had copies of it with him when I saw the car. It was sold at Ferris in New Philadelphia OH. I don't know if he has a POP, but the engine and rear are supposed to be original to the car. That car and N709612 are both 10E cars, although the dealership is not known on that car so I'm assuming there is no original paperwork with it.

Re: Field find
Eddie. As I recall the rear axle is CBE Due to the next model year
