"Van-T" vs. "byVan" Chevrolet Emblem
 

What is correct? I see a few cars that where purchased from Van T Chevrolet, wearing the Van Chevrolet "byVan"(Shawnee Mission, Kansas), Dealer Emblem. I know a few members have the "Van T" emblem, and say they are very difficult to find. I assume Van T and Van Chevrolet merged together at one point?

I assume placing a "byVan" (VAN Chevrolet) dealer emblem would be incorrect on a car that was purchased from Van T Chevrolet in Topeka, Kansas.

Anyone have any info?

Both owned by Cecil VanTuyl, I believe. Van in Mission, Van-T in Topeka (Van-Topeka). They each had their own dealer badges.

I found recent link to many dealerships. I'm assuming it's related.

I just looked at a 67 SS396 Impala with busted Van-T emblem just like that on the trunklid

Yep, same folks, although I believe Cecil died not too long ago. I don't do much junkyard hopping anymore, but it's probably been 20 years since I've seen an intact Van-T badge in the wild. I seem to recall one popping up on ebay a year or so ago.

The Internet is a Great Place for gathering information and research [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Anyone out there have a Van - T Dealer Emblem for sale for Kurt [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
It would be going to a good home....and be placed on his Chevelle.
I know this..... as Kurt has instructed me to properly place it on his Chevelle, once we obtain one [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

Thanks sYc, Thanks Tony.

Thanks for all the help guys.

The guy with the Impala sent me a close up of it. You can see the outline reading &quot;by Van-T&quot;.

I just purchased a used but decent &quot;byVan-T&quot; emblem this morning.

I actually got it from Harold Herrick's nephew. For those of you who don't know, Harold worked at Van-T from the late 60's to the early 70's. He was well known and was actually part of this article in Super Chevy: http://www.superchevy.com/features/s...-nova-ss-copo/

Unfortunately I'm at work so I can't post a picture yet.
