68 Barracuda owner in Springfield Missouri?
You are correct that a 1968 Barracuda has chrome side script, but they are unique to 1968 and are thinner than the other scripts. They are being reproduced and I have a set on my car now. Only downside to the reproductions are that they are slightly (and I mean slightly) thinner than the original ones which cause them to be a little easier to bend when you tighten the speed nuts. Since my car is a fair weather vehicle, I can not comment on how well they hold up.. Only time with tell here with our coastal environment.
My original emblems.
My reproduction emblems.
The trunk script is different however. It is more of a flat surface with a brushed finish with the sides of the script painted black.
As for 1967 and 1969, they use the inset script like you described for the first generation (look at the images... slightly different script), but the inset is painted for a '67
Not painted for a '69
