Re: Dealer Emblems and Stickers

These cheezy chrome dealer emblems are nicer than any trim put on the most expensive cars today

I feel kind of the same. I always removed the emblems, never liked them. It's not about free advertising, just didn't want it stuck on my truck. But I had an '85 Jimmy that came from a local GMC/White Tractor dealership and I cherished that decal on the tailgate. The dealership is gone now, but they started out selling horse-drawn farm equipment before GMC made a truck or Oliver made a tractor. Knott & Geisbert, and it was still in both families. In my owners manual cover booklet there was a Knott & Geisbert business card with a Knott being Service manager and a Geisbert being the sales manager
