I found this Sunderland emblem last weekend on a 70 Chevelle, hopefully I can get it off without breaking it. If somone needs this for their car, let me know.

Wow thats a blast from the pasted.its was sausman before it was sunderland and later became forbes before they moved to camp hill.

I'll take it! I have one as well, but it broke, and is currently with a buddy who is going to try to recast it.

They were indeed Sausman before Sunderland - didn't know they became Forbes. The owner now owns Sun Mercedes, Audi, etc in Camp Hill and Mechanicsburg I believe.

Thanks for procuring that emblem - great price too! It will clean up well, and will look great on the decklid of Benjamin's Nova.

Love it when things come together!

Glad I could help out. I remember being at Sunderland's lot in 1970 and seeing several BB Nova's, one in particular, a red black vinyl top L78 that I wanted to buy but my insurance company would not insure me, I was 17, so I ended up with a regular old Nova 350 w/auto., here is the original paperwork.

red with red v. top. Cool! How long did u hang on to your 1st new car Jeff?

Sam, The Nova did not have a vinyl top. I did not have it long, but it stayed in the family, I sold it to my father. I replaced it with this 67 Chevelle SS in 72.

Nice! Never saw a bill of sale from Sunderland. You didn't happen to see a '69 Rally Green SS396 Nova on their lot did you? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] Ours was actually repo'd in early '70 and ended up back with Sunderland. It appears to eventually have gone through Manheim and landed in Maryland till I bought it in late 2002.

BTW, the emblem cleaned up real nice!

That's a cool emblem. Is it on a car in a junkyard? I actually know a salesman who worked at Sausman and I believe Sunderland as well. He did so well as a salesman that he won a 58 Impala convertible during the 58 model year.
