Wow. This is good stuff.

Starrider, does your car have any of the original drive train components? If it has the original BE rear, what is the date?

This NCRS data is proving to be very interesting.

No signs of having a Chas Carter emblem. I looked on the inside of the tail panel to see if there were any previously drilled holes and appeared never to have had any. It has original engine and trans but the rearend was replaced. Still working on trying to locate it. I spoke to the owner at the time and he replaced it because the gearing was to low. Unfortunately instead of changing the gears, he swapped it for a 10 bolt.

Mine was found near Moody Texas. It has been around Moody since it was about a year old with 2800 miles. I guess Moody is near Bonham.

I think these were pegged from the company that made them as you can see the rear pic where the double back tape is. I can get the measurements if need be. This emblem is in good shape but I would rechrome for a COPO show car. Later Kim

Hey Charley....The embossed area where the pegs would have been is 5-1/4&quot;. The emblem is 5-3/4&quot; long and 1&quot; tall on the narrow ends and 1-3/4&quot; tall on the center bulge. This emblem came off a an early 70s Caprice that ended up in a Phoenix wrecking yard in the middle 80s
