I see. So that basically the sedan version of the euro-spec Escort from the late-80s?
By the way, is that pronounced "o-ree-on" or "o-ry-on"?

That is, except that one is a Ghia while my dad's wasnt, that's not the hubcap that i have, also i just remembered that i have the hubcap of a Seat 600
As for the pronuntiation it is "O-ree-on", at least in Spanish, you know that we read phonetically.
On older cars he was doing that because the badges are one of the places where rust starts: drops of water stay there longer.
On recent ones (or on the Espace which has a plastic body) it is not really useful, he just does not like to have badges, writings, etc. on his cars. On his Peugeot 106 Rallye he removed the colored stripes too.
On top-of-the-range BMWs, Audis, etc. it is not uncommon to remove the badges, often this is asked by the owner when buying the car.

Shame, i have never really seen any cars with rust in there
And why does he not like writings on cars Antoine? any special reason? being a car lover it surprises me, like Max says i too find it sad when i see a car missing its badges, do you agree on removing them too by the way? or you like to keep them? (this is for Antoine)
Ah so you can do that when buying a BMW? ive actually seen that many times on BMWs and always wondered why the heell some models would have badges and others not, youve solved my doubt
By the way, if anyone wants a specific badge, I'd be willing to get one and send it to you 
I have an extra "Caprice" badge if anyone wants that. I also have about five "Plymouth" badges if anyone wants one of those.
Hey, I could even make a business of it, "Max's Badge Boutique"
(but I would not charge of course)

Also I could definitely get a Lincoln badge, plenty of Continentals and Town Cars in there. Cadillac badges too, if you'd like. Maybe even a hood ornament (although I doubt there'll be many of those)
