Interesting.  Not from Ford.  May be from a dealership or a region.  But the red/white/blue makes me think of American Motors.

I don't remember any AMC having "XLT" badging.
SX, DL, SST and AMX on the 71-74 Javelins as the 68-70 AMX was a model is what I remember off the top of my head.

There have been mentions of these over the years at FTE. Sounds like not only a dealer thing but also just regional. West coast I think? Due to the 'gold'.
I recall mention also of a dealer Cajun-something badge that I'd really like to see.

(Missed your post Gary so didn't mean to just repeat what you said about them )

Here's the Texas version. My best guess is that these dealer emblems were brought out when Ford stopped using the Lariat nameplate.

I find it interesting that the Lariat font is the same as what Ford used. I've seen other versions of the Texas Lariat emblem that did not feature this font. Either Ford sent them a cease and desist or the Lariat font came later on under license by Ford.
