Luby Chevrolet, Colorado
 
Anyone have an emblem from Luby Chevrolet in Denver, CO?
A friend just purchased a Corvette that came from that dealer and there are two holes where they must have mounted their emblem. He'd like one to place back on the car.

Thanks

I've got a picture of one at home...I can't access it from work.

If Joe doesn't find his I'll post my picture... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Tim, Luby Chevrolet was bought by Emich Chevrolet about two years ago. They still have the same phone # 303-716-6490. I called them and asked if the used car lot or body shop might still have some old Luby name plates left. I'll contact you if they find any. Wayne

I had a 61 FI car from Luby but I don't remember it having a Luby Emblem.

Guys,

Thank you. That's the same mounting place where the holes are on the Corvette. The size of the emblem seems about the same spread as the holes. This is an original paint car and the option is to repair the holes or find an emblem to put on the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I've picked up a few Luby Denver items over the years.
I believe they produced at least three variations of emblems.

The later issued,heavily orange outlined cursive under the center circle emblem above is made entirely of plastic w/o any mounting posts and adheres with friction tape.

This pot metal circle emblem is the earliest I have,and has three mounting posts instead of two.

I have a Luby potholder,napkin,yardstick and can opener around here too,but I think those are from the Luby's in Clevelend,Boston,Miami or Forest Hills, N.Y.

You are amazing, thank you for posting. The car has two holes in the fiberglass. Love the pictures.

PM me your address. When I get a chance to dig them out I'll mail you one on the house. Seems they are pretty plentiful anyhow. -JB https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Way to go Joe...that's what this site is all about! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

By the way...someone is going to have to add "Joe Sucks" and a "Steve Sucks" signs soon! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Very cool of you Joey. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Tim is one of the good guys.

TimG 02-04-2009 05:39 PM

Re: Luby Chevrolet, Colorado
 
Thank you to everyone for your help. My friend joined the site and ended up securing one from Mr70. I'm sure it will drop right in the two holes on the rear of his '66 Corvette.
Joe, thank you for your offer, you're great. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Wow, I just zoomed in on my old COPO picture at the track and never noticed the LUBY emblem on the trunk lid. I may need one of these emblems, what the going price? Anyone know of any other COPO's sold from Luby Chevrolet, the story on my 9561 was it may have been the the only COPO sold at there store. Just wondering. thanks mike

The one my friend secured for his '66 Corvette fell right into the two holes with no trouble.

Joe; Was reading this thread as my 71 Monte SS454 came from Luby in CO. I would love to have a Emblem if you still have any. PLMK;
