Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] Coupes without stripes

Body:
Okay, we are speaking of 1985 coupes, correct?
Hood has an off center ascMcLaren decal on the raised hump part. In
the grille, off center.......way off center on the driver's side
should be a chrome (plastic) mercury emblem. On the rear deck lid,
on the passenger's side, just above the taillamp assembly another
decal ascMcLaren. On the dash panel, in front of the passenger is
nothing.

Now 1986 was DIFFERENT! The hood decal was removed. The chrome
plated plastic mercury emblem was covered up with a brushed aluminum
looking ascMcLaren emblem. (Ford didn't want their copywrited name
on the car!!! They had to cover or remove the mercury. To remove
it left two good sized holes, so it was better to cover it & cover it
they did. On the deck lid was the same ascMcLaren decal as was in
1985. On the dash, in front of the passenger was a brushed aluminum
looking emblem that was kinda like this:-

LIMITED EDITION (big space to right) #_ _ _

It should be noted herein that EuroCoupes were NOT numbered, and had
nothing in that location.

I have seen 1 or 3 1985 with the 1986 in-grill emblem on the dash,
but in each case, it was affixed there by the owner or a prior owner.
Maybe some were put on at ascMcLaren....being hand made they were not
all 100% identical. However the grand majority were plain on
the '85s.
