Interesting Trivia...

Nov 1965 SCG shows nude pentroof covers, no badges

Nov 1965 Car & Driver shows nude pentroof covers, no badges

January 1967 pic in Popular Hot Rodding shows nude pentroof covers, no badges.

Nov 1967 in Motor magazine shows badges in rear of both covers

...the rest of the original "at that time" articles I have show cast alum "Cobra 427" covers

Old Car Illustrated, March 1979 shows CSX3039 with two badges, both in front.

Hot Rod, June 1977, shows CSX3052, two badges, both up front.

Ned's CSX3042 ( the SAAC concours "plum") has two badges, both up front.

...and at least 6 of the original Comp Cars that I have early pics of all have no badges.

Thumbing thru the ranks of early or unmolested (relatively) street
car pics.. most seem to have two badges, both up front.

What does this all mean? ... I guess, do what ya like!



,,,but it looks like no badges... or both up front is more authentic.
