Different size Motion bages??

[COPO]

JoeG, I too have always heard that the badges first came out in late 1969, so they could have been on some of the '69 cars. I know both my '69 BM Camaro and the '69 LS-7 BM Camaro were very late cars, both being delivered in early 1970.

original owner of my feb.71 z28 i bought had given me lots of motion parts with the car. he said he bought parts at motion but never had them do any work to his car. the valve covers he gave me are polished & say japan 739 inside & have long emblems that were cut.there is an additional long emblem that has never been installed on anything & still has the protective backing on the yellowed out 2 sided tape.i called & asked him if he recalls when he got these & he thinks about late 1971.

Here's a photo of the '70 yellow vette's engine compartment at Palm Beach Motors when it was found in '92(or there abouts )--It says the engine compartment was still completely intact--(I'm just guessing everything is still original from birth)--It does show the long emblems---Can't really tell if the covers are polished or chromed--This car was delivered to the West Coast in 10/'70 ( car was built 8/70??)------------The emblem I have with my old Motion items is the short one--I always thought this was one of the ones I had bought first--But to be honest, looking at a Motion emblem back then I wouldn't pick up on the size unless the two were together as Joe showed---Anyway , for those with a need to know, --Still working back in time to see when they first were issued and if the larger ones were indeed first , but it's getting to look that way--I'll check with the higher ups when they're not so busy--- I think I would like a room with a nice view of the ocean at the home ----------

Hey guy's,if you look through some old magazines,the emblems appear to me, to be randomly used. earliest i found was CARS april 1971 has the ribbon car feature with a picture of the engine that has cut emblems. the latest i have seen is CARS may 1973 and it say's, "we recently had the opportunity to check out the first big block job to come out of motion in 1973."if you look real close it appears to have cut emblems.

You may not know it but Marty sometimes in haste to beat a deadline re-used some pic. I am sure that some of the old hands on here can point some of the pic to you.

We have seen motor shots that were not of the subject car at the time.
