I'm not sure exactly *where* this decal falls into place...features a later FED and a coupe with a spolier...I couldn't find this logo on any of my NHRA literature

I visited the NHRA Museum in Pomona yesterday and saw no evidence of this version of the emblem. That's not to say it isn't authentic, I just didn't see one of these. I'll post my photos later today.
