Subject:Re: WTB: "TRANSPORTER" emblem for hatch
Date:Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:59:37 -0400

I have/had two. I wanted one for my Tristar but got 2 of the types that go on regular vans. Unfortunately, my house got flooded and all my possessions have been hauled off by one or more contractors  and I don't have ready access to them, assuming they didn't get tossed by contractors as junk.
