Default Emblem Info Help

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to gather some information on the 68-72 front nose and gas door emblem size and profile.
Can someone please provide me with a quick length by width size measurement of each?
Are they flat or is there a slight curve in the profile?

I'm planning on mounting the emblem on a display case and I want to get an idea of size and profile before I place the order.
Thanks for your help.
Silverbird

Hey Silverbird,*On my '71 the front nose emblem has a slight curve/bend in the center to follow the crease on the body. Should be the same situation on all '68-72 cars. That emblem measures 4 1/2" wide x 1 7/8" tall (approx)

The gas door emblem is flat and measures the same as the front.

Hope this helps.
