Right on, Mike. I had the same problem with an '86 Olds I bought in
Ohio. Fortunately the "logo plate" was only a decal, and removed
easily (as did the free advertising license plate holders. "I did
not pay thousands of dollars.............!" On the other hand, they
were nice folks to deal with, and the car even came with a full tank
of gas. I drove it for 16 years.<br>

thing my Dad used to hate about buying a new car in
Massachusetts. The dealers would drill holes in your new
car to advertise their dealership. I remember when he
bought a new Oldsmobile Cutlass F85 convertible in 1965. He
specifically told them NOT to drill the trunk lid for their
dealer logo. He said, "I am not paying you for your free
advertising." The day the car was delivered, right there as
big as the nose on your face, was the metal dealer logo on
the trunk lid. My Dad blew up. He yelled loud enough that
I think they heard him the service department. He told them
the deal was off on his factory ordered car. He had told
them not to do it, but somehow the message never got to the
service department when they were prepping the car. We left
the dealership that day without the new car only to return a
few days later with the logo removed and the holes filled in
and painted over. My Dad signed for the car and took
delivery then. Always stuck in my mind and to this day I
will remove the paper plates with the dealer info off new
cars I buy right at the dealership here in California before
I drive the car home telling them, "I did not just pay
thousands of dollars to advertise for you for free!" Echoes
of my father in my head.</span></div>
