Guys... Look what else I got!!
I received a package on Friday - It's more stuff from Don at the Broome/old Ketcham dealership! It's just so cool!

I think this must have went on the back of the car? It has like a sticky tape on the back.

I don't know what Oldsmobile Scramble was? There are 12 of these plastic bags.

2 more license plate frames!

Very nice stuff.
A scramble is a type of golf tournament where everyone on the team (twosome or foursome) hits a shot, starting on the first tee, the best of the shots is selected, everyone else moves their ball to that spot and hits from there, and the process is repeated until the group has putted out. Then you go to the next hole and start again all the way around the course.
It's a lot of fun, especially because, if the first person to hit makes a good shot, the other three can take a more risky shot, such as to try to clear a water hazard or a stand of trees knowing that if they fail, the team still has a good shot to play from.
If you got that item from the dealer, perhaps that dealer sponsored a golf tournament every year or something like that as a charitable event.

That sure is nice to find. That green plate frame should go on the car in my opinion...
Things like that make owning an old car even nicer.
I could not even get a response from Lady's old owner, so much of her history is lost, other than the abuse she took way back then.
On the flip side, I do need to drive my old Ford back to the dealer where she bought it 32 years ago - its still there under the same name!

Very cool stuff. The dealer emblem in the top picture was usually put on the trunk like you were thinking. I believe some of the old ones used to have studs and bolt on like stock trim pieces. Can you imagine a dealer drilling holes in a brand new car to install one? 
I think they were replaced by the license plate surrounds.

Thanks guys! It's so exciting to have this stuff. I have to figure out how I want to display it. My daughter typed me up a kind of "history" story sheet for the car last year - now I need to have her make some changes to it! I really don't know what I'll do with that belt buckle - someone may ****** it out of the display if I put it in. Unless I remember to take it each time I walk away from the car at a show. You just never know about people.
Jeffrey..... your rear end looks very nice, lol!

I would sell that belt buckle on evilbay and put the money instead of that into my car.
You can find out what the Olds Scramble was and a lot of other things by typing it into your browser's search box and hitting enter.
I see that Olds Scramble stuff at the local flea markets, started in '84 so too new for me.
"Founded in 1984, the Oldsmobile Scramble has developed into the largest, and most popular, amateur golf tournament in the world with over 100,000 participants annually. Conducted by the PGA of America, the Oldsmobile Scramble is open to all amateur golfers with a current USGA handicap index. The tournament begins each February at 2,000 local golf courses nationwide and concludes with the national championship at Walt Disney World in Orlando in October. The national finals are televised on ESPN."
Buick took it over after Olds went defunct.

Sandy, you might consider having a casting made of that belt buckle. Oldsguy had an "Oldsmobile" belt buckle he bought in the Philipines years ago. He cast a copy with bronze a few years ago for my birthday. He had a local foundry do it. I'm sure they could copy that belt buckle so you have a "non-original" to put on your display board in case it is stolen. As I recall it was rather affordable for Oldsguy to have that casting done (at least, that is what he tells me).

You scored the jackpot! that is some really nice stuff. I can't remember now how much the buckle was but it was reasonable, the trouble would be finding a foundry that could and would be willing to do it.

Cool, Wolfie!! It's just so neat to have this old stuff - even if some of it isn't real old! Everyone I contacted has been so nice and helpful to me. No one even asked for postage for mailing this stuff to me, just did it out of the kindness of their hearts to help me. I really appreciate that! 
I don't know what I'll do with the buckle yet!

"Pay it forward" to me.
I promise I'll take care of my favorite charity, "Bluevista McRedgoat House".
Sandy was in a country band, she probably has belt buckles that make that one look small.
I'm not really interested in the buckle unless I can flip it, maybe all eight guys that like 77's in the country would want it though?
