    My '78 308 GTS has a little frosted horse on each vent window. Anybody else have this or have seen it? They are well done and look exactly like the other chrome horse logos on the car. I'm wondering if this is a dealer applied extra or what. Pretty sure the car was originally sold in Southern California. Maybe a certain dealer did this to all their 308s?

    Hmmm, If your '78 Florida car had them could this be a factory item?

    Our '89 Mondial t Coupe has small etched/frosted versions of the nose badge on all the side glass and the curved rear window. Haven't seen it on the windshield (but haven't looked). Have assumed it came from the factory that way.

    They have to justify the $2000 replacement cost for glass.

    ok............ i saw this thread and i had to :



    1) leave the computer,





    2) turn off the alarm,





    3) go outside in the cold,





    4) open the garage, turn on the overhead lights,






    5) uncover the Ferrari,






    AND I DONT HAVE ANY DAMN LITTLE HORSIES!!!!! :( :( :(


    seriously, i HAD to go look, really cool observation, my car was sold new California as well. its a US spec 77gtb. all the glass is original, so maybe this was a orderable option on the cars?? :) funny thread :)

    No horsies on my red and black Bianco Polo '78308GTB (US spec) either. Think my car was originally sold in New York.
