All:
Thanks to all who gave me info on how the gold Pug emblem on the
mighty 504 is attached to the grille. (The general consensus is that
they screw on.) Armed with this knowledge, and thus the confidence
that even a mechanically challenged boob such as myself (so why do I
own an aging Peugeot?) could remove said badge from grill and place
it on the front of my 505 currently sans gold colored hearldy, I
drove off to my favorite Peugeot infested boneyard -- only to find
that since my last visit of some three months ago, every damn badge
had been removed from the grille of the four 504s lurking in the
xeniscaped shrubbery. And Butch, who ran the place, wanted $25 a
badge! So I went to the next wrecking yard, where I knew a '74
Peugeot 504 lay. The junkyard guy would not sell me the badge,
unless I brought it with the grille for $50. He said if he separates
them, he can't sell the grille. (Question: just what is the demand
for a 504 grille in Central Arizona?) So I departed without that
little piece of pot plate Peugeot metal, thinking that my
search simple badge was becoming a quest for a holy grail. All I can
think is that some Peugeot nut is collecting 504 grille badges and
knows something we don't -- like there's real gold in them there
badges.
I wonder if the badge on the butt of the 607 (check it out, it's
silver and big) would fit without fuss and bother on the grill of a
505.
