Howdy Gang,
I came across a 2" round brass medal that has a Roman athelete on one side and the words "10 Greek Days with Chevrolet" on the other side.
It has a ring as though a ribbon might thread through it I think It might have been used in conjunction with the olympics but I am unsure of the year.

Does anyone know when this may have been used?

Any help is appreciated. John

Hiya Fellas,
The mystery has been solved.

An email was sent to Ken Spangler, who has a wonderful private Chevrolet museum near Roanoke, Virginia, and this is what he said...

THE Chevrolet emblem is for a Chevrolet DEALER TRIP to GREECE in 1972.

Is that correct Ray?

John

I do not have any information specific for this slogan. It makes sense to assume it was a dealer trip. I have had the plate for some time and was not aware that a medal also existed. I can't even date the slogan.

Anyone have personal knowledge about the plate and medal?
