Well, it worked.  I at least got someone to post a reply.

I really do appreciate it.

Just a thought, it might better to type out the color as well as some folks might be color deficient

Many hanks,

Kenny

I can confirm the yellow color on the 60 hp emblems.  I'll take a closer look at the others when I get home, but I don't think they've retained any paint.

Wow, maybe I can prove useful...lol..

The passenger side 60HP emblem on the '64 is in pretty nice shape. There is no evidence of paint on either the hood badge or the 1200 emblems. Seems odd to me that the 60HP would have held up and the others not. Perhaps, being above the beltline, they took more weather abuse.

I would definately call the 60HP badge 'Schoolbus Yellow'.







I really need a tripod for those close zoom shots, sorry the first one is so blurry. Too much coffee maybe...

Hope this helps. :D

Outstanding - Thanks a bunch for the pics.

I agree, it doesn't look like there ever was any paint on your 1200 emblems.  I have seen it both ways.  Not sure what I am going to do but we'll figure it out soon.
