GnatGoSplat Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 My '89 Cutlass has a plastic "Oldsmobile" emblem embedded into the glove compartment lid. The vinyl is recessed in the shape of the emblem, and the emblem is either glued or stuck on. I like it. My wife's '88 and the '94 convertible, as well as my stepbrother's '90 sedan, all have "Oldsmobile" stamped into the vinyl itself. Is 89 the only year to get the plastic emblem? Anyone else have it? I'm mainly just curious. I need a new glovebox lid because the color on mine doesn't match my new dash pad and I thought I'd rather get one with the plastic emblem.

Brian P Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 my original '90 had the plastic emblem, so that '90 sedan must not have the original one. I think they "stamped" it when they went to using vinyl on the passenger side dash instead of carpet. I couldn't say why the '88 has the stamped, cause Taylor's original dash has the emblem, and I'm certain that's the original. Does Penny's 88 have the "spotted" black dash?

LukeZ34 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 My cutlass and my brother's 91 sedan are both stamped in to the vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimp19 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I'm pretty sure mine has the word oldsmobile embeded in plastic lettering, the same color as the lid. The same as your 89, I'll check in a few minutes when I go out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimp19 Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I just checked and mine and it's like shawns 89. My car is an 88 but I am not 100% positive if it still has the origional lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Penny's '88 has the spotted black dash which is why I'm confused as to when they used the plastic emblems. The lid is the proper spotted black & gray color (like pepper). Weird!

Think mine has a black or dark grey plastic emblem recessed into the graphite lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted January 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Yeah, yours being an '88 would have the pepper/stone fleck type dash, not a solid graphite. Anyone know if the plastic emblem glovebox lid is available in solid graphite? I have one, but it's got dimples on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
