This guy is selling off a collection of the most fascinating grille badges I have ever seen.

That is a huge collection. Very interesting. My german auto club is circa 1956

I was persuaded by an alleged additional 0.314HP on the butt-dyno, & sprung for one of these. Rather representative of the breed & comes in 040 Black!

Generally grill badges don't add horsepower, so that is rather news to me.

I've always been told that grill badges improve aerodynamics by deflecting incremental airflow up and over the grill, thus improving top speed and acceleration.

Looks nice, though !!

c'est la vérité...a slightly higher rating than the Lamin-X decal!

Very nice badge. It should look excellent on the front, or rear, of your 500E.

Finally following up on the badge's final placement. Provides endless enjoyment for back seat guests.
