Glad to hear it! Please cast your vote for it by selecting that one above. So far no votes there so I can tell you didn't check that one. Posting a verbal vote here below isn't the same as checking the box of your favorite.

I would like to know where my 62 starfire and 63 olds 98s are represented in the banner on line 2? It goes from the 50s to the late 60s early 70s,this era was represented by the emblem found on the trunk lid of the full sized car (not the starfire deck lid).Can this be added to the banner?
Banner number one is an A body banner and banner number three has a fifty fifty representation. Just a thought.

Thanks for the input Steve. If you get us a copy of that logo we'll see if we can get it incorporated into banner 2. But banner 1 is currently in the lead, so it may be a moot point. Nice couple of cars you've got there tho!

Unhappy Decisions,decisions

I thought the original idea was to get rid of the goofy new logo and put something real in that vacant spot...and another brilliant flash is why not rotate the banners every three or four months so we all win...and you still haven't told us where the winner gets to vacation for two weeks, preferably with a nearby auto wreckers... isn't the '57 emblem almost the same as the '63...gotta keep everyone happy...

LOL - no prizes here, other than seeing your pick in the header.

The rotation scheme did occur to me, but I'm not sure we can implement it. I'll be talking to the site's Unix guys to see if it's possible though.

It's our pleasure.

As for the rotating cars scheme, that would require an animated gif (banner), and unfortunately the forum software won't support that in the header. Good idea though!
