I was just composing the same message, except I wasn't sure what the fourth
badge was (it was the plain "260" one). The "Powered by Ford 289" badge that
is on the trunklid of my car is a contemporary reproduction piece, and that
should be obvious, since Chrysler would never have admitted any such thing.
Seems to me that I also saw one for a 302 at SUNI but I don't remember on
whose car.
