1957 98 with J2 option - badging?
Hi - saw a 1957 98 Starfire Sedan on an auction site a few weeks ago. It had a "J2" badge on each front fender. The car had the J2 optioned engine. Is the badge original, or has someone added it to the car?

I have an original sales brochure that I will check later to confirm for sure but I do believe you could get the try-carb option on them. I seam to remember it took the standard 371, which I have in mine, from 277HP to 312HP....get back to you later after I go through the archives.

I am certainly not an expert on J-2 era cars ( although they are some of my favorites). However, EVERY J-2 equipped car that I have ever seen, even convertibles, never had badging to identify the package.
Looking at this example, I would be highly skeptical not only due to the quality of the lettering, but also the placement.
Just my 2 cent.
