'69 Berger Emblem Question

blackops22 · 11-14-2008, 01:28 AM

From my dad who doesn't want to make an account:

Hello, I am really hoping someone out there can help me. I have a 1969 Camaro with the hi performance (375 Hp) 396 cu in. engine option, with 4spd. It is a huggar orange car and I am currently restoring it. Of great importance to me is identifying which car dealership may have sold my car when it was new. I believe that I may be able to do that with your help, if you have a car with an original dealership emblem on the tailight panel. If you do, it would simply require you to measure center to center of your emblem posts from inside your trunk. My taillight panel has two holes drilled to the left of the SS logo. The center of the holes are 3 5/16" apart from each other. These were obviously drilled by the dealership when the car was sold as new and then filled somewhere along the way. I suspect each dealership had different spacing requirements between each of their emblem posts which carried their dealership names. The positioning of the holes on my car on the taillight panel seem to be very similar to those cars that I have seen in pictures with the "BERGER" Chevrolet dealership emblem mounted on the on the taillight panel of the car. If someone specifically with a BERGER Chevrolet car could check their emblem, and or anyone else out there with an original dealership emblem, it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know the distance between posts and the dealership name on your car. Thanks in advance.

I wonder if Chevrolet would have that info. Maybe if you call them and give them the VIN. I know you can have protect-o-plates, build sheets, and even window stickers made so maybe GM can tell you who sold the car originally.
