1963 Dart sail panel emblem question
So, I was digging through my boxes of parts (mostly broken junk parts) that came with my dart today and tucked in the bottom corner I found an old tube. Inside I found the original sail panel emblems. Ironically they are in really nice shape (of course as I bought a NOS pair...lol).
What I discovered looking at them is that this car did in fact use the barrel clip on one end of the emblem. The other had the foam and the nut. The end with the nut had obvious marks from the nut and the other (where I found the barrel clip) had no mark for a nut, just scuffs as it would have scraping against a barrel clip. As this car was original paint and never touched (original 60,000mile car) I don't believe it would have been changed at some point.
Now to figure out the right size and order one. I'll post a picture later once I get a chance to take one.
Also have to decide which I like the look of better after paint too. The originals had more of a gold background and the NOS pair are painted black. Thinking the black due to the interior color and the dark exterior color but we will have to see.
