Working at a dealer it is interesting to read about all the ideas about dealer emblems/stickers. My take on this (working at dealers for years now) is that their were probably a LOT less emblems/stickers originaly on supercars than any of us think. First of all they were high performance cars that looked sharp and were usually bought by young people. They would be removed most likely within the first day or two of ownership because they were viewed as eyesores. Even in modern times I have 4 out of 10 people personally ask me "Please don't put a sticker on the back of my car, I hate that! It is ok if you put plate frames on the car but that is all that I am willing to advertise for you". These are on SUV's and Escorts! Think about what you have done on the every day drivers that you own. You most likely have peeled them off. I for one think they are cool and have them on my cars but I bet most supercar original owners never had them applied or removed them promptly. Other things that happened were they were actually screwed or bolted on to the rear of the car making them a lot harder to do away with, and old timers have told me that the dealers would tell the customer that they would only do the deal the customer wanted if they left the dealer name on the back for the advertisement. Don't forget that if the car was traded in the new dealer would remove the original dealers name as to they would not want to advertise for someone else. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
