Mark of Excellence

[/align][align=center]The Mark of Excellence is the original name of the logo of the General Motors Corporation. First introduced in 1966, the logo originally included the phrase "Mark of Excellence" at the bottom, and as a decal, it was installed on the door jambs of General Motors' vehicles. This logo also was stamped on the release buttons of seat belt buckles on GM vehicles from 1967 until the mid-1990s.
The phrase "Mark of Excellence" and its appearance on the logo was phased out by the late 1970s.
In 2005, It was announced that small silver emblems of the logo would be applied to the the exterior of every 2006 GM vehicle. This was continued into 2007. The only 2007 GM production vehicles without this feature are the Saturn ION and the Saturn VUE. Both these vehicles are scheduled for replacement in 2008, and in 2008 all GM cars will carry the Mark of Excellence. The phrase was sometimes used in a derogatory fashion, to highlight common failures on GM vehicles. For example, a large crack that would routinely appear in the dashboard of 1971-76 Chevrolet Impalas would be referred to as the "Mark of Excellence".

hey, that looks pretty nice

 

Nice touch.

 

I like it, but not there, at least not on mine. Any suggestions for another location, not on the exterior?

good spot for the emblems. 1 of my buds got those on his 86. he is gonna sign upfor the forum. yay... my 1st recruit..lol

 

How about one on each inside door panel, somewhere behind the door handle. Maybe in the center of the loop molded into the door panel behind the door handle.

 

I've always liked mine. But I've recently decided on changing all the trim to black, along with those emblems. Not sure if I'm gonna just get some nice black vinyl and stick then cut out the impressions or find some paint to paint the face, as I plan on just making the brushed part black.

 

I've got an idea for it

I have been thinking about getting sill plates for my monte
But have deceided to make my own,
Will post pic's when I get them done.

 

[/align][align=center][/align][align=center]Yeah, there is reason that they are phasing out the ION and VUE. And no they don't deserve the badge.[/align]
