First owner of the car comes to the dealer, buys the car brand new and the car has both the emblems and the stripes and is none the wiser. Claims years later that's how the car was when he bought it and he bought it brand new. Years later the car changes hands and is restored and the restorer puts both items back on because that's how it was when he started. Maybe the car didn't leave the factory with both but both were on the car before the first owner took ownership so in my opinion is totally correct for this car. If it really bothers you that much that you feel the need to criticize this beautiful car for the most minute detail, why don't you track down the owner and buy the car and correct this MAJOR discrepancy!

First off it is a beautiful car. The scenario you described is totally possible, but wouldn't have come from the factory that way. I was just stating a fact that was discussed in other threads and I'm not the only one that brought it up. That's actually a great thing about this message board. There's a lot of people that know the facts on many different cars and they are openly discussed. There are many people here that want things absolutely factory correct. There are some that aren't so down to the head-marking/date-code correct. I'm sorry I ruffled your feathers. I didn't mean to.
