Funston - dealer emblem help
 
1 Attachment(s)
Does anyone know if any of the supercars sold at Funston Chevrolet in Detroit had a dealer emblem? I attached a photo of the emblem I am trying to identify. Thanks for your help.

Cool emblem, I have never seen one before. There is a guy on here who used to work at Funston...wish I could remember his handle...maybe he will see this.

Paul here. I had never seen that type of Funston emblem before. They had a stick-on label that either went directly on the bumper
or paint. I've seen a few license plate frames. I worked there in '71 and '72. All the dealers in the area had stickers or license plate frames. Rinke, Merollis, Gene Hamilton, Ver Hoven, Shalla, Jefferson. When Funston closed I went to Buff Whelan. They had stickers and then the type of emblem in the picture later in the 70's. The emblem shown could have been a sample piece from a place that sold that kind of stuff to dealers.
Hard to see but there is a Funston sticker on the back bumper if this car.
