73-4 had a nose red starburst w/ a black ring & lettering.
75-6 front & back.
The Corvette is a low volume car for GM & the emblems were an inexpensive way to id the new model.


Most if not all would agree you got the General thing right.

Thanks guys....Well I am not pimping these because I find them wicked overpriced ( 48.00 plus shipping for two keys and a key fob ) but the cheesy cool lover of tacky aftermarket in me just loves 'em,



My first 81 came with such a key and the plastic "jewel" came off after less than a years use,
So I run across these on Fleabay the other day but IMHO none of the vette ones are really the 69 logo/emblem which to me looks like the crossed flags they have on the sunburst one but it should have black or white background....the blue isn't bad...if you have a blue car....
