Default Question about Corvette emblem

Can someome tell me what is the significance of the "fleur de lis" (which is the symbol next to the bowtie in the red flag on the emblem).

Thanks.
I have been searching the web and books for that answer. Most of them just show the emblems and do not expand on the history. I will explore that site further.

Thanks for the info.
I just ordered the American Flag symbol from West Coast Corvettes.
Looks like I'm going to have the emblem that Chevrolet was going to use in 1953, or at least close to it.

2K Vette, I ordered the same flag from WCC but ended up returning it. It doesn't look as good as the stock flag.

I hope you like it better than I did.

You mean like this one? (Sorry for the glare - it was hard to take a photo of this at the NCM!)

I'd say that must be our Holy Grail. Information is a good thing. And this kind of information makes it just that much better being a Corvette owner.

It's good to be part of the family.

I agree, it's a good Idea, but I don't like the way it was done. The flag needs to be more square.

edit: I just got a really good idea....look for pics in a differend topic later tonight.
