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

I emailed this to Ken Spangler, who has a wonderful private Chevrolet museum near Roanoke, Virginia, and this is what he said...


THE CHEVY EMBLEM IS FOR A CHEVROLET DEALER TRIP TO GREECE IN 1972.

A very big THANK YOU to You Leonard.
I appreciate you taking the extra step in finding out what this medal was from.

Glad to be of help. I see you have a 36 Chevy. My father had a 35 Chevy before I was born.

Here is another. This one was found under the carpet of a `72 Corvette.
