I'm looking for some information on the correct emblems that should be on my '71 /4. Currently it only have the "914" rear emblem, but should it also have the "1.7" emblem? Also, what color should it be? I know there are black and gold (mine is gold currently).
I'm not a full CW, but I hope to be one some day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) While I'm on the topic, anyone know where I can get information on what the car came with? I don't have a lot of information to go off of, so it may be difficult. But if someone has a resource for what was "standard" on a '71 I could start with that. Thanks all! |

I have in my hands 2 914-6 emblems. One gold, one silver. The silver one was on my six (#0137) I bought back in '91. The car had never been restored up to that time. Never repainted until I did so 12 years ago. It is canary yellow built in Jan '70. I thought it strange that the emblem was silver and always believed that they were gold. When I removed it, I examined it for any trace of gold. There is none. The backside and edges are silver. The knurled bars that tie the numbers together are also silver. The part number is; 914.559.114.10 It is in like new condition. The gold one I purchased about 12 years ago. It has no part number, but they are identical in size, design and weight. Could it have been dipped and stripped of the gold? Will never know.
I have kept the silver one off the car because it is a curiosity and use the gold one believing that they are supposed to be gold. Don't ask for pictures as I do not have a DC. So, I too am curious to see if there are any more silver emblem stories out there. Don |
