Vette(s): 1987 Convertible double black red interior. manual transmission. Calloway #164
Hi everybody!
New member would like to know if anybody can tell something about Calloway badge in my Vette. My -87 convertible has oval shaped riveted badge whit stampings: Calloway GM 164. The badge is located under the hood left side of the Corvette Bowling Green badge. And yes, it really reads Calloway not Callaway. Is it some kind of dealer badge or what? Any ideas?

I see you are in Finland....is the car an export car? It could be that the badge is from the importing company....

Yes, i am from Finland but the car was imported from Virginia to Finland . Last NMVTIS markings ,title and registration, are made 08/14/03 in Virginia. So i dont think that the badge is some kind of export badge.

doubleblack87, can you get a good picture of the RPO/Service parts label from the center console lid, or one of the rear compartment doors?

Vette(s): 1987 Convertible double black red interior. manual transmission. Calloway #164
Hello friends and thank you for your intrest of this Calloway badge case. Today i found another same kind of badge inside of the convertible top deck lid. Does any anybody else have this kind of badges in their Vette`s? Because, if mine is numbered 164. someone else has to have numbers before and after 164?? Here are the pictures of the second badge and the RPO/service label /member_uploads/26201_26300/26239/ZZF5E_101_3302.jpg/member_uploads/26201_26300/26239/35Z9D_101_3308.jpg

Could it be - The tag looks like there has been a cut out made in the fibreglass to mount it, which may mean it was installed at the factory, so was it GM Employee 164's ( Mr or Mrs Calloway ) own personal build car.
There is a County just down the road from Bowling Green called Calloway County Kentucky, maybe a Chevrolet Dealer in the County ordered the car for personal transport.
And good luck with the solution to your puzzle. Keep us in the loop!

Contact the NCM and see if they can help you solve the mystery. You could also post this on a few of the large Corvette sites.
