1968 Charger Sail Emblems, should they have the arrow emblem as well?

[70yell500]

All,

I finally found and bought a 1968 Charger and now I'm starting the gathering process of reference pictures for my restoration project.  I came across a 68 Charger this past weekend at the "Mopars at the Strip" in Vegas and was wondering if the car should have two emblems on the sail body panel, or was this only on early build 68 Chargers?






Thanks in advance,
Eddie

Eddie,

That was my car at the show, and the arrow emblems were added by the previous owner in early 1990. I have photos of my car from 1988 and they were not on it. I liked them, so I kept them on. There are early press release photos by Dodge that show the arrow emblems, and it is said by some that some early build cars came with them, but generally they were not found on the car.

Keep us apprised of your progress! Photos always are welcome.

Dan,

Nice 68 Charger you have... when I saw the emblems, I just wanted to make sure if my car should have them or not.  I've been looking for a 68 Charger for some time and finally came across a good car to be my next project car.  Nothing fancy, a simple 318 car that was bronze with white interior, I'll probably make this into a 4-speed car and just upgrade the brakes to 4 wheel disc and put in a big block... I was just glad to finally get my hands on one!

Thanks everyone for the quick replies and I'll make sure to post some pictures as this project progresses along.  I did see the Charger Specialties electric headlight door actuators and that will be an upgrade i will do on my car as well.

Thanks again....
Eddie

I don't think they've ever actually had these emblems on 68s. It was something that was shown in the book and press literature so it was probably planned at some point but I'm not convinced it happened on any production cars.

66-67 has them on the sail pannels.  Maybe some people felt they should have not gone away and added them.
