Emblems, Trim & Super Sport Nameplate Locations

Of the five engine sizes offered, three were noted by size designations above or included in the emblem on the front fender, the 250 cid L6 Turbo-Thrift, the 327 cid V8 Turbo-Fire, and the 396 cid V8 Turbo-Jet.

The base 230 cid L6 did not include a fender emblem but, as shown below, the optional 250 cid L6 did.

The 283 cid V8 and the 327 cid V8 shared the same 'crossed flags' but the 327 engine included the "327" numerals centered above the flags.

All 396 cid V8 engines (325hp, 350hp, and 375hp) received the same front fender emblem.

According to sources there are at least five versions of this emblem for Chevelles:
1 - 1965 factory installed - The flag is blood red. The outer groove around the lower bars ("396" and "Turbo-Jet") was painted black. The studs are just a tick under 3/4" long.
2 - 1966 - early 1967 factory installed - The flag is blood red. The outer groove around the lower bars ("396" and "Turbo-Jet") was NOT painted black, but was bare chrome. The studs are just a tick under 3/4" long.
3 - Mid 1967 (exact changeover date unknown) factory installed - The flag is orange. The outer groove around the lower bars ("396" and "Turbo-Jet") was NOT painted black, but was bare chrome. The studs are just a tick under 3/4" long.
4 - Late 1967 (exact changeover date unknown) factory installed, and service replacements for a couple years afterwards - The flag is orange. The outer groove around the lower bars ("396" and "Turbo-Jet") was NOT painted black, but was bare chrome. The studs are just a tick under 1/2" long.
5 - Later service replacements - The flag is a sort of translucent or transparent red. The outer groove around the lower bars ("396" and "Turbo-Jet") was NOT painted black, but was bare chrome. The studs are just a tick under 1/2" long.
6 - Most aftermarket third-party vendors sell the 1965 version based on the original graphics design for part.

The 300 Deluxe moved the "300" script to the top of the emblem.
