70 Dart Swinger emblem placement

[Dartswinger70]

I am starting to cut and buff my car and test fit emblems and I had the quarter panel emblems in place.

I never gave it much thought but I wondered "whatever made them think to put emblems right under the rear window?"

I mean the 71 Dart Swinger Fender placement seems common now but anyway.

One thing I thought was when at a stoplight and you look over at a 340 Swinger its right there for you to see along with the 340 scoop callout.

Either way the 70is unique that way. Mine also has the "Dodge" cursive hood script and trunk emblems.

I have seen redone 70s with no emblems at all so someone must not have preferred them.

Any thoughts? Which do you like the 70 or 71 emblem placement?

There is something cool about the 70 quarter panel emblems. I actually replaced a quarter and had to drill the holes

And another one... I measured 2 and 1/2 from the body line to the top of the a in Dart and 2 3/4 inches from the top of the flower to the center of the body line sweep.

Here is pics I uploaded years ago. Zero point is center body line for verticals, and from door edge of quarter panel for horizontals.

I honestly forget how I did it . I'm sure I came here and found a pic like yours it may have even been yours?

Thing is you cant measure drivers side and transfer it right unless you reverse the dart emblem holes the pattern isn't the same "Dart" is to the rear on pass side and to the front on drivers side..ah the details.

Well I've had my car over 40 years and never noticed that LOL but you're right!
