Hmmm. I have brand new chrome package cross flag emblems (front & rear) in GM packaging from a Chevrolet dealer. No "blue" tab. The tab and peel-off are clear.
GM #84658776 & GM #84658772.
For whatever reason - the cross flag emblems were more expensive than the other emblems. Which made no sense to me.

I have that bottom set on my car, replaced the chrome when I murdered it out. I've had them for two years and they have held up well. I chose to leave off the "corvette" lettering and stingray badges tho and placed just the crossed flags because I like the clean lines of the car without all the gewgaw. Went on easy-peasy.

Yep. I have a chip on my shoulder. Some would say that a 1968 C3 Corvette isn't a Stingray, so I put STINGRAY on the side of it. I liked it so much I did the same with my C7. It can be reversed in about 30 minutes.

Yes, I have researched this issue. What I found out is they didn't have the emblem finished for the first production run so they just left it off. I haven't found any info on how it got from Sting Ray to Stingray. But we will get the group that still say the 68 isn't a Sting Ray or Stingray, how ever you say the word. If Chevrolet called it a Sting Ray, that's good enough for me.
