rpcm ◊ 2007-08-01 01:45	As I said, from this angle I don't think it's possible to be sure about that badge, because it seems to be smaller than the correct one. Of course it may also be said that the hubcaps don't seem to have the AH, but what puzzles me is why it doesn't have the side chrome strip of the Midget. By the end of the 80s, at the height of the classic cars euphoria, everything was available to restore these cars and this one seems to have had recent work done.
