[FC] In search emblems for a 1961 Rampside

[Karl Haakonsen]

I believe you're right about GM wanting Corvair to be its own brand.... 
though even the late model cars didn't have much in the way of Chevrolet 
badging. I think that, if you don't include decals and that sort of 
thing, the only bowtie on my 1966 Monza is the stylized one in the 
grille bar on the nose. The word "Chevrolet" doesn't appear anywhere in 
any visible way, nor are there any bowties anywhere. The usual locations 
where they exist on other Chevy cars, such as the horn button and hub 
caps, all had Monza emblems.
