In fact this badge was also used on the BJ 8 hardtop. It was produced by Ree=
ves and Co and they ran a batch few years back on the original tooling. I do=
 have a set stamped Reeves and Co and have a set on my hardtop.=20
Current badges have been produced for key fobs by another vendor which is sl=
ightly different but not noticeable by the average eye. I also have a fob fo=
r comparison and color differences.
