I just had to post a pic. Of the emblem I got on e-bay, For you guys that know the difference can appreciate my find! It's a NOS FRST design original emblem that was on and left the factory for all 53 to 55 Corvettes. The detail is in the right black and white flag area. GM later in years sold the replacement or reissue design which had much more white then black in the flag %35 more which the repro guys copy. This is the first time I ever saw a NOS original for sale.
The ones you see for sale in that blue and white box is the resissue one and the one you see in a plane brown box is the repro.
Like when GM reissued the hub caps having no spinners installed.
OK I know it means little to nothing to many people but I don't like repro's and this was one of the few repro's on my 55 Corvette.
I'm ex sighted about it and sorry if no one els is,
( by the way the horn buttons sold today are also reissues design %50 more white, mine is crazed so still looking for that NOS real one also)
