Knight badge
 

What is the meaning behind the knight badge emblem on Montes? Have been wondering and thought I should ask.

RE: Knight badge
 

CORT? Someone has a question for you.

My impression was the knight stood for stateliness or luxury.

The Monte was alwaysadvertised as a personal luxury car with a bit of sportiness.

RE: Knight badge
 

So does that make the Monte the original Knight Rider? :D

Where is Cort on this? Or Space for that matter? Space is our resident research expert.

Id love to see a pic of that badge. Ihey come factory shaved on mine.[:o]

RE: Knight badge
 

LOL!

This is one Q that has always eluded me. I've researched a bit and can't seem to find the answer. I'd bet Space'd be able to, tho ;).


Taz ... yes, the Monte Carlo is the original knight rider ;). At least, I like to think so! But...I ain't biased.


Snyderman, if you can see my avatar pic under my name to the left, you can see the MC emblem!

Cort... I thought there would be at least someone on NMCOA who would know. Surprising.

I suppose we could try calling Chevy Customer Assistance. LOL.:D Give them a choice. Either tell us the origin of the knight emblem, or give all of us our Certificates of Authenticity! Those are their only options! :D

I'll try Google, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

O..M...G

Im ordering one of those badboys. I must find a way to get a custom grille with that replacing the bowtie.

RE: Knight badge
 

Most people who get the Tony Stewart grill, or the SLP grill for their 2000-2005, remove the knight's crest from the front grill. Mainly because you more or less have to for fit. It's one of those things that a lot of people would throw away after removing it. But you may get lucky and be able to find someone who still has theirs lying around somewhere.

RE: Knight badge
 

If you have an '06 or '07 Monte, they didn't come with the badges. I know you can get the side emblems off ebay, as for a custom grill, for some reason I wanna say you've got an '06 or '07 (not sure though), you'd probably have to do it yourself as I don't know of any out there.

I thought I remember reading a while back, a member who bought a grill package for an Impala. And just didn't use the lower grill insert from the kit.
Or maybe not. Not 100% sure now. I know a few LT and LTZ owners who installed the stock SS grills into their cars and removed the bowtie.
