Maybe you could bring it to a place that makes promotional items (key tags, mugs etc.) and have them copy that entire logo onto a sticker for you.

That's a cool piece actually! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I think I have seen a dealer trunk emblem from there.
Let me see if I can find out where it was.

[JHerston]

Theyre still around, have you tried asking them? Might be able to get something from them.

WOW....!!!! Thanks for the replies guys!!!!

NWZ28.......yes, a sticker would be nice. Would like to have an emblem though.

CamaroJoe.....thanks!!! I felt lucky to find even that...!!!

MR70........no kidding??? That would be FANTASTIC...!!!

JHerston....yes, I tried that. All they have are new front plates and decals. The emblem I'm looking for is die-cast, I think. The license frame is metal also. Thank you all for the interest......I know this dealer isn't well-known, but for me, well, this has always been my local Chevy dealer.......and where I bought my first Nova.

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif for your local Chevy dealer. Anyone know anything about this western PA Chevy dealer? Ed might remember this one...not sure when it closed down, but it was before my time.

Sometimes these old boneyards keep goofy collections of stuff like this... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Try the second hand stores around that Dealers hometown area.Like Antique,Pink Elephants,Recycling refuse,all names they go by.
These places take in estate items when people die or relocate.
I have found some incredible Authentic Chevrolet items here in my area at these types of stores,and they are inexpensive.

For Camarojoe !!! Got this from the 2nd owner who bought my Chevelle from the original owner....he worked at VV as a line mechanic as his father did...it's a candy dish he has kept for years....he sent it to me after we talked about his old car !

Belair, thats a cool piece, the story behind it is what makes it "over-the-top" cool. Kurt, that's a different Hallman Chevy... the one SC Kid is looking for stuff from was located in Johnstown PA. It's been defunct for at over 20 years. -JB
