    .....Its about an inch long....maybe just alittle less. They stopped making them about 5 years or so ago. One of the vendors had them at the GSCA Nats so I bought a few :

    I used to have a red one that I Dremel'd off the top and made a 'Vert out of it :Brow: :bglasses: .....Flew off my head with the top down several years ago and I've been looking for them since

    Mike - That Pin is VERY cool !! Never saw that. Any Idea why they made it a '68 ?? Were other years offered ??

    Alan,

    I am not sure what other years / cars they made Olympic pins for. I think Buick was an official sponsor so there were most likely other models / years made. I picked this one up off of e-bay about 2 years ago for $4. I had seen one other '68 pin just like it about two months before I bought mine, it could have been the same pin that did not sell.

    You and I think alike about cutting the roof off of one of those pins... :Brow:
