Fender pentastar

[DownZero]

May be a dumb question but on a 69 charger, are the front fender pentastar emblems on just the passenger side or both sides?

[JB400]

Only on the passenger side

Only on the passenger side

Yes, that goes for all 3 years.

[DownZero]

Thanks. Just seemed an odd thing to do.

The thought behind it was that people walking by could see it when the car was parked along side the curb.

It was done so the people walking by could see it when the car was parked along side the curb.

Did they do this on many other mopars ?

[Lennard]

I know that my brother's '69 Super bee has one.

"The Pentastar logo was placed on the lower passenger-side fender of all Chrysler products, including non-US brands, from 1963 into the 1972 model year. It was placed on the passenger
side fender so it could be viewed by passers-by, a subtle method of getting the symbol ingrained in the public's mind: a nameplate has to be read, but a symbol is quickly recognizable without reading. Thus left-hand drive cars had the Pentastar on the right fender, while right-hand drive cars had it on the left."

Long ago, someone told me the cars that got the optional extended warranty got the fender pentastar.  Just a story i suppose, as I've never seen it documented anywhere.

All cars had them, I can categorically guarantee that my cheap old man never bought an extended warranty!
