From what I’ve read, they only made those for like 2-3 years (1981 to 1983/1984). Said they didn’t “track the wind” well, with that shape. Looks neat, though!

There are several around here, I have an original. I talked to Rosemary about that one time. Had nothing to do with the centennial. They just made a switch to their logo, the diamond. Lots of blowback from customers, and yes they killed it after a couple years. Dan B makes copies, I sold him the stencil kit for the tail. I think I found 4 or 5 around here, one is east of Shattuck, north side of highway.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.
