Still got your dealer badge? Where is yours from
« on: September 16, 2011, 03:34:48 AM »
I love it when old cars still have the original dealership badge. Its like a little piece of the cars history displayed on the trunk lid or hatch. My 83 is from Bob Bundy AMC Jeep Renault of Denver, My 86 is from Emich AMC Jeep of Lakewood/Denver.

Who's showroom floor did your eagle roll off of?

Here are the ones I can remember from my currently and formerly owned AMCs:

1972 Matador - Williams and Bugbee, Bennington, VT
1972 Matador - B&K Motors, Trenton, NJ
1980 Eagle - Riviera Motors, Edmonton, AB
1980 Eagle - Leo Edwards and Sons, Chilliwack, BC
1984 Eagle - Big 4 Motors, Calgary, AB
1984 Eagle - Big 4 Motors, Calgary, AB
1984 Eagle - Riviera Motors, Edmonton, AB
1986 Eagle - Big 4 Motors, Calgary, AB

Over the last eight years I've seen numerous Eagles in the yards with decals from Big 4 Motors, and only a couple from other local dealers such as Time Motors.  Big 4 Motors must have been one of the largest AMC/Jeep dealers in western Canada back in the day, and remains in business today as a Dodge/Jeep dealer.

i remember B&K in Trenton, NJ very well. (that's where i grew up) my uncle bought many cars from there, the only ones i remember well were a hornet a concord and an ambassador. he loved the AMC's. whenever we would be near there we would stop in and get some popcorn and a soda. they used to have it for the customers that came in. i will have to look i think a few pics of him were taken at the dealership. i think he also had a friend who worked there as a mechanic. I'll have to look on my eagles and see where they are from. this is fun! LAZ

Mine also came from Jerry Morris AMC, which is still a Jeep dealer today.  Unfortunately, I think my badge got lost when I had the car painted.

I don't have any dealer badge either. It probably got lost when the previous owner got the car painted. I do know that it was purchased new at Elmhurst AMC/Jeep, which is only 1 town away from me. I also have AMC/Jeep/Renault service repair orders from when the car got serviced at the dealer throughout the 80s.

Here in Colorado Springs the only AMC dealerships were Owen Faricy AMC Jeep Renault and Steve Johnson AMC Jeep Renault. Oddly  have never seen an Eagle with either one of those badges here in Colorado Springs...Just a few jeeps.

Although the only badge on my "88 wagon was the used car lot, the original dealer was stamped inside of the owner's manual.

Mine hailed from Sothview Chevrolet Co., Inver Grove Hgts., MN

It was sold to someone in St Paul, MN on 1/29/88.
