Last of the Breed CETA
Anyone ever seen a CETA (Collectors Edition Trans AM) with the Last of the Breed Badges too?
I know how both came to be but was there any ever badged with both?

CETA was a factory/GM package, on WS6 cars converted under contract by ASC, so CETAs are "factory" original cars. However, the "Last of the Breed" thing is not original/factory so none of them were delivered by the factory with those badges (CETA or not.) Some Pontiac dealers sold these badges when the '02 cars were new, and some folks have bought them directly from the supplier years later. But this was never a factory option on any model/trim.

No CETA was delivered from the factory with these badges, so you won't find one which came that way originally. But you can certainly add them yourself if you can't find one that someone else has already modified in this way (this would in fact count as a modification, as even the dealers who offered the kit usually sold the items separately from the car, allowing the owner to install the badges themselves.) This was not any sort of package that could be ordered through GM via any RPO, nor would it ever appear on a GM window sticker or a supplemental window sticker from an outsource contractor (such as SLP or ASC.)

Morgan Design Group offered them originally to the dealerships. I had purchased a set from emblempros but to be honest when you are right up on them it does not compare to the original.
When I purchase the CETA I would like to get one that had the complete package from the dealership for the LOB still with the car but when I look up images I never see one with both badges.
