The missing emblems are one of the uniqe Wallace id's,

Do we know why the emblems were never installed?

It wasn't that they weren't installed, they WERE installed, but quickly stolen... the Wallace decal hides where the eblem used to be.

how do you know Wallace didn't remove them to put his own decal on. I bet some of the Dealers didn't like having another dealers name on the cars they were selling.

Because he left the YENKO window stickers on, and the door panel decals. Wallace also advertised the deuces quite regularly, and was not against having the YENKO insignias all over the cars.

Linden is not the best part of NJ, and things got stolen off of the cars. Rather than install another NOVA by Chev. emblem, or another YENKO emblem, Wallace simply placed their decal over the holes. If there was an emblem there originally, they would have placed their decal on the other side of the decklid or on the tailight panel.

Looks like it's got door edge guards too, probably also a day 2 add on. Are the LT/1 hood stripes and "Deuce" decal present? Hard to tell in the pic. Sweet car for sure, can't wait to see more of it.

I've also heard most if not all Wallace Deuces had hood locks installed at the dealership as well, for similar reasons mentioned above.

Geez....Just think if Wallace had some of the 69 Zl-1's on their lot back then...move over Merollis.

Brandon is correct, every Wallace car found has had hood locks, similar to the Hult cars of '69. Theft was a real problem with the Wallace cars, but it appears to be limited to parts - not the whole car. To my knowledge there were no Deuces stolen from Wallace.

This car is the current benchmark car for a/t deuces.
