I'll bet lot's of owners did that. And many of the dealers did to. In the late 70s I had a job at the local Dodge dealership in new car get ready. We not only washed and vacuumed the cars/trucks, we also cleaned the markings off to. Even painted over any paint marks that were visible. The owner of the dealership was a stickler for selling clean detailed vehicles, so we not only cleaned and detailed the new vehicles, we also cleaned and detailed the used vehicles. Back in the day, I wiped off a lot of factory markings from some 60s/70s mopar muscle cars, that were taken in on trade. (Don't tell the dodge boys)
