This is verbatium how the sign reads.
By the way as far as the blue bowtie their is not one on the grill in the pics and I dont have a pic of a rear view of the car but FOR SURE Craig told me he still has a blue bowtie from this car. Where it came from I don't know. I would call him and ask him about this and the vin# but I don't want to seem like a STALKER. As it is he already thinks I am a member of a YENKO CULT!!!
