DO YOU KNOW?
The checker flag on the emblems are different, between 68-75 and 76-82? Not the physical shape!
See who get the first correct answer.

Flags are reversed, aren't they? Meaning, the black and white on the checkered portion are reversed.

RCB69L36,
You're close but not the answer. Look a bit harder.

Re: DO YOU KNOW? (Ki m Le)
The no. of squares are changed. Even the question is in error. There are 3, not 2 changes in the no. of squares. Besides the black & white reversed.

Re: DO YOU KNOW? (Ganey)
Ganey, is correct, but the answer I'm looking for is the 68-75 checker flag has 4 rows of "squares" while the 76-82 has 3 rows!
So, if you remove the top row from 68-75's, you would end up with the 76-82's.
Hey Ganey, what are the changes you see that I don't?

Re: DO YOU KNOW? (Ki m Le)
Even on the same vehicle (i.e my 79), the checker patterns are different among the front, rear and side emblems.
