I was just wondering where the most correct place to mount a euro style dealer badge would be. I've seen numerous pics of them mounted on the PASSENGER side cowl panel and a few pics with them mounted on the driver's side. Just trying to determine if there's any rhyme or reason to this.

I actually have a euro style badge from Morlee Motors in Greenwich CT (which I'm almost CERTAIN my '54 was originally sold and I'm trying to decide where I'd like to mount it. Thoughts ?

If it's a plaque, I have seen them either above or below the engine lid latch handle.

My car's euro dealer badges are located on the front quarter panel, one on both sides. Frequently I believe many dealers only placed a badge on one side as well

Mine is here behind the front passenger side fender. There used to be one in the same spot on the driver's side as well, but it's been missing for as long as I've had it. Is this the shape you mean by euro style?

I guess what I meant when I said "euro style" was a small, non-script style badge mounted on the front cowl panel Smile Here's a pic of my badge
