I dunno, you'd think they'd stick ONE somewhere! Unless you count the Owner's Manual!
I think a lot of cars used to be this way. I don't think Dad's old '80 Monte had a bowtie, nor did my old '79 Caprice. They were kinda superceeded by their own specialty marque badging.
I do have nine of these though.

Floor mats?
I am not sure but I have a few. I put 4 into my spoked wheel covers and have them on the nose, trunk key cover, rear quarters etc , but my floor mats have Tweety Bird which came with the car. I want to get rid of them but the girlfriend likes them. Would like to find floor mats with the Rocket on them. Anybody know who carries them?

5 on the center caps
one on the steering wheel
one on trunk
one on hood
last one is on the key chain.

Well I didn't have anything else to do so I had to run out in the garage and count my rockets. I have 9 on my 69 Custlass S. One on each SSIII wheel (4), one on each rear quarter marker light (2), one on the stearing wheel (1), one on the center shifter council (1), and one on the emissions decal on the radiator (1). Most of the other emblems on the car are the "S" for sport.

My '85 doesn't have any rockets at all...well until I bought a couple and stuck them on the sail panels after getting my sim conv top replaced. Otherwise it just has the "Oldsmobile" lettering and that's it! They were pretty unique cars.
Great pics of your cars BTW...wicked nice! My initials are JPA as well...lol...caught my eye when I was looking on the Hemmings site.
