63 Dart with emblem in the grill like a Valiants?
OK so Ive been thinking about what a Fratzog emblem would look like in the center of a 63 dart grill. I always liked that the Valiants had the big 'V' emblems in their grills and was thinking Dodge could/should have did something similar to the 63 Dart. With the 63 darts 'tiger shark mouth' like angled grill, I was thinking it would only look good if there was a way to get a big enough Fratzog emblem and then try and angle it so that it was more vertical to the headlights and bumper. I thought it might look odd if it was flat to the grill, might even be hard to see unless you were far away or down low to the grown cleaning bugs off your bumper. Ive been thinking about it on and off for awhile but today I stumbled across what might be the best emblem to try this with. Its a Fratzog emblem off of a 71 Dodge Coronet. The emblem measures 4" or so across the bottom so its bigger for sure. It has one mounting post and then two 'fins' or 'tabs' that slide into the grill which means it would mount to the center of the 63s grill nicely (maybe with some work). More interestingly enough, the bottom part of the emblem looks to be thicker/wider which would kick the bottom of the emblem out some, making it more vertical with the headlights. Here's a few pics of it
