Being that there is no Badge Bar available for the 1500, I attempted to make my own. It is made out of 1 inch diameter aluminum pipe, and is about 16 inches long. It can easily be mounted to the bumper. The badge pictured on the left is the BMC insignia used between 1952-68. The badge pictured on the right is the MGCC insignia.
