Re: Dealer fender cover question
From what I was told this came from the Chicago area. The seller was not sure if it was a dealer or not but thought it was.

Looks like the Bear Alignment mascot. Bet it's from them and happened to come from a shop in the Chicago area. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Dealer fender cover question
Funny. On my way home from the shop and just after I showed it to Ann she says, could it be from Bear Alignment? Duh! It does in fact look very similar and yes it is in very good shape. Than you for the help.

Re: Dealer fender cover question
there used to be an alignment shop in springfield mo that had a neon and porcelain sign like above on the corner of the property right on the main drag thru town i remember it lit up as a kid and we knew we where almost there..was a super nice sign...that was the late 70s..prob gone...
