Anyone have two round Barcelona fender medallions?

[John McEwen <moparrr@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone:

Unfortunately, I don't have a Gremlin, Hornet, Ambassador, Javelin or 
AMX.  What I do have is a Matador Barcelona Coupe.   I've found an 
inconsistency in the description and pictures of the badging on these 
cars and wonder if anyone can clear it up.

I've seen pictures of the cars which show a round gold-colored 
medallion (prominent red cross in design) on each fender adjacent to 
the MATADOR emblem.  However some of these cars have script 
'Barcelona' emblems on the trunk and hood (offset to the right as 
viewed) while other cars are pictured with an AMC badge on the hood 
and I have not seen any rear shots to verify how that was finished.

My car, a '78, has no medallions.  It has MATADOR badges on each 
front fender and AMC stick-on badges below that.  I believe my car is 
supposed to have 'Barcelona' script badges on the hood and trunk but 
I'm not certain what is correct now.

I'd like to know if anyone who has a Barcelona could tell me what 
year their car is and what kind of badges are in what locations on 
the car.  I'd like to clear up the mystery.

In the meantime, if anyone has a couple of the round gold medallions 
(probably stick-on) I'd certainly like to buy them - as long as 
they're in decent shape..

Thanks,


John
