That's nice I'd say it is probably a dealer because of the horns on it. Probably in Texas.

19673ontree, That key fob should really have Longhorn keys on it!!!!

**FleetsidePaul** · 03-25-2009, 11:14 PM

If I had a Longhorn I'd be dying to get my hands on that right now.

That is too cool.

Rules state that if your name is in pink you are only allowed to tease all the Longhorn fanatics with interesting trinkets.It`s very clearly stated.

That`s from a Chevy dealership,alright.But not Texas.it`s Switzerland where they blow those big long horns like on the Ricola ads.

ashx2 · 03-26-2009, 08:55 AM

Listed below is the only "Longhorn" dealership(s) that I have heard of here in TX. ((not that I know it all or anything...and sure don't claim to....))

Who knows, maybe there was a "Longhorn Cheverolet" dealership "back in the day".

Another old key chain from a chevrolet dealership in my home town of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Notice the 4 digit telephone no. It also doubles as an ice scraper/coin holder, holds a nickle, and a penny.

sleepertruck72 · 03-26-2009, 11:36 AM

19673ontree,
Put it in the safe !!!

sameyrasmea72 · 03-26-2009, 03:15 PM

DUDE!! You could be my new best friend!

.

I bought my truck from the original owner and I still have the original title that shows the previous owner as Longhorn Chevrolet. And it still has the dealer emblems on the cowl that I will put back on the restored truck.

Nice find!!!!

sameyrasmea72 · 03-26-2009, 03:20 PM

Did I mention that I still have the original KEY for the truck too.

19673ontree · 03-26-2009, 03:43 PM

cool ! I guess we know where this thing came from now ,
I think I see the long horn's on that dealer emblem , they must have used that on all their sales stuff , I bet they had horn shaped pencil's , cool

Longhorn321 · 03-26-2009, 03:58 PM

Think how cool it would be if you had a longhorn from longhorn!

Longhorn Man · 03-26-2009, 04:03 PM

it'd be real cool if you had a longhorn from longhorn and had a longhorn key chain!

Longhorn321 · 03-26-2009, 11:34 PM

And an extra 6 inchs...

Bus Ted Knuckle · 03-26-2009, 11:39 PM

MY parents owned a large repair shop and they used to keep promo items like that with the business logo on them. I do remember them having key rings just like that with our name on them, along with ice scrapers, calendars, etc.

rambler · 03-27-2009, 10:57 AM

thats pretty cool, as a kid I had a box of old key chains like that, when I went in the Marines, my mother gave them all away!

but I forgave her,, eventually...
