Cars with their own badge

Actually, some Impalas do have the Chevy bow tie logo. See this 2008 model. You can see the bow tie and the deer logo in separate locations.

Chevron and the “deer” is an impala.

The Monte Carlo marque came out during it’s final years (my 1996 does not have one, just the bow tie). I was a bit disappointed in it’s plain design, but, at least, it did separate the brand from other Chevrolet models.

Nor my 2006. It looks like a few years (early 90’s… the ugly years) they did sport the blue oval, but the originals and the current ones do not at all.

The Oldsmobile Aurora had its own logo, similar but not identical to the Oldsmobile logo at the time.

ETA: I just remembered that there was a special Buick Reatta emblem as well. GM sure loved to make special logos, didn’t they?

ETA2: Speaking of poor-selling GM sports cars, the Fiero counts as well.

When I went to get into my car after work this evening, I realized that I had missed the one, tiny Ford logo on my car…there’s a sticker in the small “back seat window” on the driver’s side which touts the fact that the car was made in the U.S. – it has a United Auto Workers logo, as well as the Ford oval. :slight_smile:

My sons '07 Deluxe and my '08 GT (both of which at this very moment are parked outside my house) have stock wheels and each sport a blue Ford oval in the center.

But like I said, YMMV.

That was the Dodge logo, not specific for Dodge Ram pickups; at least until 2010 or so.

I have a Dodge Dakota (not a Ram) and a friend has a Durango (also not a Ram) with the Ram’s head logo- both on the grille, and mine has it on the tailgate as well, and both are mid-2000s models. Dad’s Grand Caravan has it as well, and it’s a minivan!

ISTR that Dodge Vipers had a snake-head (Viper) instead of the ram’s head.

Yeah the good looking years of Mustangs (I had a 90 and a 91) had a blue Ford oval on the front center and passenger side of the rear on the hatchback lid. Also on the steering wheel, it wasn’t blue but was engraved in the plastic/vinyl.

I think it was the badge for the Viper that if turned upside down, it looked like Daffy Duck.

The Pontiac Parisienne did have the Pontiac arrowhead, but it also sported a unique hood ornament with a sun design.

Saleen?

That’s an odd one, because most Saleens are / were modified versions of other manufacturers’ sports cars…as part of the modification, Saleen apparently took off the original branding to put on their own.

All current model Toyotas for the past years have had the three ovals logo on the front. Trucks, minivans, suv, cars, hybrids.
The only exception to this has been the FJ Cruiser which simply states TOYOTA across the front grille.

Yep, I think technically Saleen is a builder, using the Mustang as the base for thier own manufacturing. RUF and Alpina do the same with Porsches and BMWs and are recognized as distinct manufacturing brands of their own, but I don’t know if the US recognizes Saleen Mustangs and Callaway Corvettes as distinct from the cars they’re based on. I suspect not, since Alpinas are sold in BMW dealerships here. Then again, you can order a RUF from their dealer…

MMDV (my mileage did vary)

I’ve got an '06 Premium GT Convertible and I just double checked and the stock rims on it have the familiar Red, White, and Blue stripes with the Pony running past it. I also went to the Ford site and checked and even the base model for 2014 had a pony in the middle of the wheel. Couldn’t find a single factory wheel option with the oval.

No union sticker in my window… guess mine was built by scabs. Or, since I bought it 3 years old, and/or the first thing I do with cars I buy is remove any ugly stickers so either the guy before me or I probably pulled it off (I don’t even tolerate the oil change stickers.)
