Default Horn button question.

My friend has a 78 vette which has the gas fill door emblem which denotes the 25th anniversary as does the hood emblem. The car came with an after market wheel. He would like to update it to look more original. Did all 78s come with an aniversary horn button? 78 Horn Button Emblem (corvettecentral.com)

Yes. The nose, gas door and horn button emblems on all 78 Corvettes carried the 25th Anniversary logo, it made no difference if it was a "regular" 78, an Anniversary car or a Pace Car. Only the aluminum wheel center caps had a traditional crossed flag logo.

Side note, whatever moron dictated the design of the horn cap deserves a swift kick to the nuts.

Thank you gentlemen. I looked for that info in the Corvette Black Book to no avail. I shall return to the C1 Forum, thanks for your hospitality.
