Default Re: 68 SS/396 emblems

Hi Steve:
I was waiting for you to chime in. The interesting part is we have never seen a canadian factory 427 with anything but red, regardless if it was a cop car, biscayne or SS427.Today yes we see all versions up here after restorations are completed since the red ones are impossible to locate NOS. What they were doing with the red ones in the US at the time is still a mistery to me other than more are showing up now on Us cars than 20 years ago.
They did not run out of the red foils in Canada since we were still buying them over the counter in the 80's.In fact I think the NOS set we have for the coupe was purchased around 86.We got one set of the silver ss427 over the counter one time when we ordered the red set but I have yet to see them on a factory canadian car.
Just one of those things we will probally never be able to nail down.
