According to all catalogs, my '48 should have the Chevrolet Thriftmaster
emblems on the hood. As you can see in the pics on my website, it only
has the Chevrolet emblems. There doesn't seem to be any non-used holes
on the hood either. I know by the production number (9031) that it is an
early '48, but that shouldn't make any difference. Ahhh...ancient
mysteries!
