Was there a chrome 740 GLE 16V emblem for 1990?

My 1990 Volvo 740 GLE 16V station wagon did not have an emblem on the passenger side of tailgate when I bought it last year. I think it was supposed to. Can anyone verify that such a chrome emblem, in fact, existed? If so, would anyone know where I could get one? I'm proud of my engine ($4000.00 rebuild) and would like the wagon to look complete. I've been looking off and on for the last year, but no luck. Lots of Turbo emblems on Ebay, but no 16V. Total Zilch on the on-line retailers, parts yards.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Anybody need a roof rack? Was supposed to fit my car, but is slightly smaller.

    I have the same car. Yes, there are 2 badges on the passenger side of the rear hatch that read:
    740 GLE
    16 VALVE
    The '16 VALVE' badge is a smaller font and is below, but not touching, the 740 GLE badge. There is a VOLVO badge on the left hand side of the rear hatch.

    The car is relatively rare so you will have trouble finding a badge. When you do find one, just holler and I will give you the precise measurements so you can place it correctly.

    Mine is a stick shift. Love it. And while I have your ear, I am collecting names and emails of B234F owners so we can lean on each other. Send me an email at garlandw@mcmaster.ca if you want to join the list.
