1981 K Decal

Postby 88AriesLEwagon » Mon Dec 07, 2009 11:42 pm

Does anyone have an image of the 1981"K" window circle decal? I believe it was only applied to early 1981 model Ks.It was the red/white/blue K with "Front wheel drive" lettering circled around it.
Also,heaven forbid,does anyone have a shot of the "1981 Motor Trend Car of The Year" window decal that was affixed to a limited number of K's? Usually it was applied across the bottom of the back window (it was white lettering and spread across the whole back window).This was of course before the deck mounted 3rd brake light it would have partially blocked.
One trivia note:The horrid Renault Alliance also had the Motor Trend banner stuck in back windows on limited number of cars.

Yea,sorta.But I remember the original having US flag type color layout like the club banner atop this page.The "Front wheel drive" lettering was smaller as well.
We had a 1981 Custom 2-door Aries 2.2/manual in Graphic red,back in the day,that had that round decal in the drivers rear opera window.That was a nice car,however it had a shift fork pin come loose and got launched thru the front of the trans case ($900 to repair),and the factory leaded seam at the A-pillars heaved up and rusted underneath.It was an early build car....October 1980.
