A few months ago I also started a discussion concerning the GM emblem on the back of the car (see at the bottom of this forum page (GM logo by Pecje). Some told me that the logo appeared as well on the European as on the US cars. Others told the opposite. However after consulting a lot of original photo's of European 69 cars I'm convinced that they only belong on the US-cars.




Catalog Nr. 1 76 786 E
Name Plate "GM" body back panel (only for USA)

I have an inkling that the "GM" logo may be fitted to 1969 & 70 GTs sold in the US
Correct, the Name Plate "GM" was attached in model year 1969 and 1970.

...but not on European sold ones.
Base this on the thought that GM in the US of A wanted people to know that they were involved with Opel whereas in Europe Opel may have been a bit less eager to advertise the "GM" link .......
Just a thought .......... any one tell us if Euro GTs of 1969 & 70 had that badge??

I must correct myself here --> French GT`s in model year 1970 had that badge.
