[DeTomaso] Undercarraige emblem

[Matt]

Thanks for the replies and explanation to my inquiry. The one on my car is
screwed to a bracket that attaches to the undercarriage and sticks out a
couple inches past the sway bar.
So my question now is this. Did all cars come with this plaque, whether
they were glued on or installed on a bracket?
Thanks again,
Matt

   Thanks for the replies and explanation to my inquiry. The one on my car

   out a couple inches past the sway bar.A
   So my question now is this. Did all cars come with this plaque, whether

   The one shown is behind the swaybar. Mine is in front of the swaybar,
   hanging from it.

   A  Hey, just a quick question.A
   A  Does anyone know if that rectangular emblem that says "Detomaso"A I
   see
   A  commonly installed on the lower rear engineA casing a factory part?
   It
   A  faces to the rear just below the sway bar.
   A  Some cars have it and some don't.
   A  Thanks, happy holidays folks!
