I mean no disrespect for the cars I mentioned because those were the cars that actually some friends drove around with me
Ford pinto had the Mercedes emblem
Datsun b210 had the word or numbers letters of the Mercedes kind of car (which I have forgotten now this was back in 1977)
& I remember back in the seventies when I was in high school
One of the fads at the time was to go to the junkyard and get the hood ornaments and those “Mercedes “ emblem and put it on your own car like a “pinto” or Datsun
