Re: Dietrich Inc. Detroit - badge

There is no place on the body I know of that is rounded like the emblem is.

Fred, take a look at the very base of the cowl on 32-34 Packards, where it meets the running board splash apron/front fender. It's got a lateral rounded section much like the shape of the Dietrich plate. That said, every Dietrich plate I've seen is mounted just above that, on the flat portion of the lower cowl side. Another shot in the dark like yours - someone had the Dietrich plate and wanted to "upgrade" a non-Dietrich-tagged car, curved it, and fastened it in the incorrect position?
