Title: 'GM Power' badge???
Post by: jackhartjr on January 14, 2012, 07:27:58 PM
Hi folks, a guy from Austrailia is looking for a front badge for his bus that says, 'GM Power' and sort of has wings on either side. Anyone seen one of these and can get him in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Jack,

I want one too! Or know where to find one, or what it came off of. 

And I like Olivia Newton John.........does that count as Aussie?

I've never seen that one in over 40 years fooling with buses - some of which had been built in the 40's.  I suspect something on a truck, and/or something used for non-US/Canada vehicles.

I've always been a GM guy.  However, one of my early jobs was inspecting the interior of newly delivered 4905's, and writing up anything I found wrong (I was a bus cleaner/fueler at the time).  I was disappointed at the first problem I found, on boarding the bus --- the "GM Mark of Excellence" had fallen off.

That is a badge from a GM power unit you still see those on the radiators of the older power units look in the oil patch,they were used up till around 1965 or 1966 best I remember 

good luck

I fool with antique equipment and had seen them. Just couldn't place where.  Will keep look out for one. Don't think we have one in  treasures. ::)   Bob  I was thinking Locomotive.
