LeSpindle Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Looking to purchase an authentic Scania grill emblem, modern design blue background with Griffin. No Scania/SAAB lettering or vintage design. This is to be nothing more than a collectable piece for my home. I'm based out of USA and can't seem to find one that isn't a cheap knock-off made overseas which... may end up being as good as OEM for all I know. Not interested in purchasing one here privately on the forum as I'm sure that violates a rule or two (I haven't bothered looking), regardless I'd prefer finding one through a reputable Scania-approved dealer or third-party that is OEM. I'd prefer a metal version but I am going to assume that all modern Scania emblems are plastic due to cost savings/weight reduction. Any places anyone would recommend? Tia, -LeSpindle.

Guest Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It's not possible for us to buy directly from Scania since they only make/sell marine engines in the USA, But if we could, I imagine it would cost a fortune. (Scania trucks are sold in some places in Mexico, interestingly enough) From my knowledge they're either Plastic, or Aluminium. Here's a couple that may interest you, even though they aren't official sellers: (The emblems of course are made in China, im not sure how exact they are compared to the real emblems) https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-Grill-Bonnet-Emblem-Badge-80mm-for-SAAB-Scania-Front-Logo-blue-/173512137964 Some other emblems/badges that may be interesting (though there isn't an emblem like you described here), though shipping may cost loads: https://www.truck-accessoires.nl/en/emblems/scania.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnl_Hugh122 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I would suggest looking at scap yards in Europe might be able to source you a new badge from a wrecked truck. The prices will also be very low as they have no interest in the individual pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know the last remaining Scania dealers in North America are in Canada. Didn't know about Mexico though. And yes all we have here are marine/industrial powerplants from Scania sadly. Those two links you shared I stumbled upon in my quest earlier, and I'm just not positive they live up to OEM. That being said if they live up to their images they should do nicely. I did notice the same images from different sellers posted on Aliexpress and EBay which views a bit on the questionable side. But for $20... maybe worth the gamble? Unrelated, I love your Anthropomorphic art. 3 minutes ago, Gnl_Hugh122 said: I would suggest looking at scap yards in Europe might be able to source you a new badge from a wrecked truck.

Guest Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Here's a picture of a Scania ad from the 80's (they had given up not too long after), but theres still some Scania trucks running around in some states Here's something interesting related to that: https://iepieleaks.nl/navistar-testing-scania-in-the-usa/ So it's very possible Scania has just had selling trucks in the USA under a very deep backburner, or their interest has been entirely destroyed by their failure in sales back in the 80's Also, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
