Still got your dealer badge? Where is yours from

[Prafeston]

In the past these are some of the first things that get removed from my cars. TQ doesn't have one. I just think it's cheap advertising for a dealership to just slap their name on your car without even asking you. If they have good service and you liked doing business with them you'd spread the word.

I can't believe the one on Bucket looks like it was actually screwed on to the car!!

I had this one on one of my AMC's

My 81 had a Bob Bundy badge.

I remember being with my dad when he bought a new 87 Mustang GT. Before he signed the contract, he told the salesman he wanted the dealer badge removed. The salesman gave him a little grief, so my dad said "I'll keep it on if you pay me $100 a month for advertising." He picked up the phone and said, "Remove the dealer badge from the red GT."

Love that!!! My thoughts exactly...I would have been furious had the dealer badge been screwed on to the back hatch like Buckets is!! Crazy!

I guess that was one way the dealers assured they had a permanent advertisement on the cars they sold. At the time it was kind of lousy but I consider it a bonus when an old car still has its badge, albeit I'm not real hot on the idea of yet another spot where rust and moisture can fester....I always bondoed the holes and used double sided tape to reatach.

I will have to go out and look.My first AMX - a 73 was from Camelot in Albany, NY. , and bought from the original owner. In Hudson , NY where I got my first wagon, an 84, they used to be an AMC dealer, Pulchers I beleive was the name.

I'm glad you said that, 'cause that's exactly how I feel about dealer badges.  (Not to put a kink into this topic...  )  Every car I see driving around has them. 

Which brings up another point:  What difference does it make where you got it?  If you're driving a Mazda, Mazda made it, not [put name here] dealer made it.

Ok, sorry for the rant.  Please continue.

neither Eagle Eyes or Survivor has one nor do they seem to of ever had one.

I took this picture months ago when I helped Jesse out with the removal of the bed from his J-Truck, but when I was checking out his two Kammies one of them had a dealer badge on it so I snapped a photo.

...this very well could have been a Used Car lot badge now that I think about it. There is no AMC Badging as part of the name.

Did a little research and it sure was an AMC/Jeep dealership....Founded on October 20, 1976 Fred Reid AMC/Jeep was located at 2129 Main St Joplin MO 64801. According to the MO Secretary of state the last files on record from this business was on November 1, 1984.

Awesome. Thanks for doing the research! Cool know it was a real AMC Dealership, bummer it appears it didn't make it all the way to the end!

I've got a friend who is looking for a few of these badges, if anybody has any they're willing to part with let me know.

[Prafeston]

He might be willing part with that dealer badge.
