The PLYMOUTH one looks just like what was on my '70 Road Runner grille.

That's cool
I remember being a young punk, 16,17 years old
I had this leather jacket and I wore two Chrysler stars on it, ran the shoulderstraps through them...very stylish

Years ago I had a levis denim jacket with mopar red white and blue patch on the pocket, and a mopar pentastar on the shoulder. I had a plymouth emblem wired on, and i had a gold die cast pentastar fender emblem off a 65 dodge, that i hammered the stud like a rivet thru a hole i made in the flap of one pocket installing it to the jacket, a couple small mopar enameled hat pins finished the look. Jacket might be long gone but i saved the patches and pins. I may have to go look and see if i still have it.

That's really cool! I would have loved to have seen it in its heyday!

Yep it was. I shoulda kept it. I had this jacket from around 1984 all the way thru high school graduation 1987.

I have several people to thank for the emblems that recently arrived to add to my son's collection. Several packages have arrived over the last few days to add to the one I received last week from 318willrun, and I want to send a big shout out to 4spdragtop, 69FBCUDA, and mycuda for the awesome emblems they contributed to my son's growing collection! I will post pictures here in a while. I want to let you know that my son has absolutely loved getting these emblems from you, and I know that he will cherish each of them with all his heart. Thank you for helping make my son extremely happy!

Very cool thread! So great to see the youngsters get interested in our beloved hobby!

I have an extra fish emblem that was pretty pitted. I did a little repair work to it and then powder coated it in my favorite chrome replica powder, Mirror Silver. Shoot me your address and your son can add it to his growing collection.

A friend's son started collecting emblems when he was 6 or 7 years old, now ten years later he sets up at the swap meets with his dad & usually makes more money dealing in them. He has a neat hobby & makes money doing something he enjoys.

No kidding LOL!!! But guess what? I still have it in my stash. Tried to PM you for the address but your In Box is full. Hit me back when you get a minute and I'll get that little fish swimmin' your son's way.

I recently got some new emblems for my collection.

He struck up a conversation with the owner of this 1937 Hudson Terraplane convertible at a car show recently, and his hobby got brought up. Next thing we know, he has some new ones for his collection!

Super cool.


I collected emblems as a kid. I did not always obtain them through the proper channels tho. It was a BIG thing when i was a punk kid in the late 80s early 90s..

I still find them interesting.. Keep this thread alive and i will save some for your boy.
