In the area, where I live, several people have bought actual Mercedes-Benz badge-letters and have fixed at their cars (not only Benzes). They have "S 04" - it's the logo of the popular soccer-club FC Schalke 04.

My parents told me, that I've learned to read before I came into the school - by car-badges. When we made walks around, I was only interested in the cars standing in the street and wanted to identify them. So I've hardly tried to read the letters of the badges.


At my last visit of a good friend (he has 4 little children), the oldest, 8-years-old boy has tried to combinate words with letters of VW-bagdes (the newer ones have single letters). His father owns a spare-part-shop.
He was not satisfied, because he needed some "E"'s and "N"'s.
His parents weren't happy, when I got the idea, how to help the child: "Hey, your neighbour can be helpful" (a popular German actor http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_du_Mont ).
A Phaeton stands in front of his house.

Try it, but before watch similar auctions. Badges belong the parts, where eBay has caused much lower prices than before.

Ok, thanks for the identification. Now I'm sure it was a Passat (in popular light green). I doubted, because the pics I found online all showed the later plastic emblem. Do you think it's profitable to sell on eBay?

@Toenz: these aluminium-badges were used for the Passat, the Scirocco and the Golf, but only in their first year of production. Then plastic ones were taken.

I just found a Volkswagen badge, which I removed from an abandoned car, when I was a kid (about 20 years ago). I can't recall the model, maybe Passat B1? (made of metal, two pins on the back side, size ca. 22 x 2 cm).
Ingo, do you have an idea?

Hmmmm... what a nice challenge

could be either really...

Escape and Crown Victoria is possible.

I found this on the side of the street, apparently there had been an accident. I picked it up thinking it was maybe from a Crown Vic, but now I am leaning towards thinking it was from an Escape. Any other possibilities of what it could be?

This link we've also in the database, but here it's not wrong either:

The car can have a license-plate from Estonia, by the font and the combination.
