Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-03-20 23:03	As far as I'm concerned, this wasn't the case. I've never heard of 1983's being badged this way.
Ddey65 ◊ 2009-03-20 23:29	I remember seeing some '83 Econolines with both the lettering and the logo in new Ford car/truck dealerships. The same goes for 1982 Ford F-Series pickups. I'm not sure which models had both, but they did have them.
