Dad's original 1969 Dart Swinger had fender badges that said "DART" in block and the "Swinger" in script. I want to mimic these badges in paint on the fenders. problem is, I dont have a very good picture of them. This is all I have...

I need closer pictures of the fenders on each side. I suppose I could try to get it from this, but I a not sure if the passenger side is the same as the driver side. Help a brother out!
 
Don't know about placement on the right side. Someone here will know I sure of it. Cool old picture by the way.
 
Was that a 340 car ? I see it has a bulge hood . I did not think they put the Swinger script on the fender in 69 .
 
After looking at some original ads I do see the decal on some fenders but not all . Maybe they deleted the fender decal if you got the tail stripe ?
One other note ... my 69 Swinger 340 has a painted top and all the chrome trim like a vynal top car but no Dodge star on the C-pillar .
 
All of the 1969 cars that I have seen over the years if they had the Swinger on the fender it was a decal. It didn't have the flower as the dot for the "i". But with Mopar never say never.
 
My original paint ‘69 Swinger passenger side.

Not a great picture. I can post better ones when I get home.

My understanding is that if you got a Swinger with a 6 cylinder, 318, or if you got a 340 or 383 with bumblebee stripe deleted you got the Swinger Decal on the fender.

My Swinger was originally a Slant 6 car.

I miss the days where every car on the road dint look the same...:)

That is a 340 Swinger, the indicator is the bulge hood with the 340 emblems.
 
I don’t recall seeing many Swinger 340’s with that fender emblem and decal, but is it possible that a 340 got that if it were ordered as a “stripe delete” car? Don’t see many stripe delete 69’s.....

Very cool picture too!!

The Daisy as the dot in “i” in Swinger was introduced in 1970 but as an emblem.

The reflective “Swinger” decals are one year only for 1969.
