The early '66 still used the "V" emblems, front and rear.....I'm not sure the exact changeover date but I think all the Aug and Sept '65 production dates still had the V.... maybe even into early Oct. Anyone out there have an Oct car originally with V emblems? or a late Sept with the fish? There may have been a difference on changeover dates between the Hamtramck and Los Angeles plants too. I doubt they both ran out of early emblems at the same time. I have both types for sale but all mine will have pits in the chrome.
