My '88 Thunderbird had no less than NINE T-Bird emblems. One on the front, one on each C-pillar, one on each wheel, one on each side of the taillight housing, and finally one on the steering wheel. However the only thing identifying it as a Ford was the intake manifold and miniscule badges on the door sills. Olds did the same thing with the Aurora--the only place it was identified as an Oldsmobile was the radio.
In both cases the thinking was the same: "We actually have a good car for once, let's not ruin its image by identifying it with all our other pieces of crap!" Funny how GM is now doing the exact opposite.
