Rocket 88 emblem from late 50's or early 60's

I seem to remember a rocket emblem with an 88 attached from the late 50's or early 60's. Am I to old or did this exist ? Right and left side ? Anybody seen one ?

You're not seeing things. They were on the cars 1950-1956, some years on the RH side of the decklid, other years on the left. Interestingly, the rockets disappeared on 88s from 1957-60 and reappeared in highly stylised form 1961-63. One Virginia dealer, Suttle Oldsmobile in the Tidewater, took it one step beyond. Their dealer badge was a five pointed chrome star that was mounted just above and to the right of the skyward pointing factory rocket. Uncle being a Suttle salesman, I saw many of those star and rocket combos growing up.
