To my knowledge there was only one size chrome Motion emblem that was sold by Joel. I know the origional ones off my '70's hood are the same size as the ones on a set of valve covers I bought recentely.

Perhaps you may have a different valve cover that was made as a copy or from a different manfacturer from the ones Joel used. The center rectangle where the emblem goes was made smaller on them, so that necessated triming the ends of the emblem to make it fit inside the rectangle.

Perhaps there is a copy of the Moton emblem out there that was made larger. To get a decent price break on them he would have had to order 500 or more. I just can't see him ordering some that are so close in size to the ones he already was selling. Unless they could have come from a second order from his supplier. No one seems to know for sure.


There are some copies of his emblems out there now, but the type face is slighty different. Perhaps you are looking at one of them?
