Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] Coupes without stripes

Body:
Second Question.....First! That "Orange Emblem" is a decal, and it
was on the 25 1984s. Look very, very closley at your brochure. The
pictures in it are of a 1984. Notice the different seat covering,
and the chrome framed power window button.

Regarding the hood decal. People (including ME) like it on the 84 &
85s that we saw, and ordered it & put it on our '86s. That's why so
many 86s have that, but no '86 ever came from asc with it!
