My first new car was a '69 Dodge Dart 340 Swinger.......it had a Chrysler "Pentastar" badge on the dirver's side lower left front fender, similar to the GM chicklet....... it didn't impress me, but I didn't hate it enough to rip it off.......same feeling with this, although it does tend to snag the microfiber more often than not........

I rather like those lil' squares down there. I don't know why...they barely show up visually, and do get in the way in a minor way during waxing, but I'm fond of the little buggers!

GM tags

I like them OK but removed them since they clashed with the custom paint job flames.

I personally like the Chiclets. I remember when they started putting them on, and my mom's 2006 Impala had them... But then again, they stood out more on a clean black car. Anyways, I like them. GM is still GM even if they had a rough spot in their history. I don't care if they were bailed out or not.... But I know I'm not Joe Public either...

101 Years of Automotive Heritage

Some see it as a symbol of bad times.

I for one (and sure that many here would agree) that it stands for 101 years of automotive heritage.

How many Asian brands can make a claim of longevity such as this?

I agree, 101 yrs is quite an accomplishment.. Many brands didn't last..

Even Harley Davidson hit a bad patch back in the 70's & Pres. Reagan stepped in to help..
Course they not long ago got another hand out as well..
