Cuda tail panel emblem

[Rich G.]

Is there an exact location for the Cuda emblem on a 73. The by Plymouth has the hole location. Every one I see at shows is in a different spot. I thought the end lines up with the end of the by Plymouth emblem and centered with the tail light.

Here is the way mine was when I first looked at it to buy it.... I have not seen any sign that anything was moved before I got it...

'Cuda centered on center of light up/down, and by plymouth appears mostly centered under the 'uda' of the 'Cuda...

On my 73 the "by Plymouth" is centered under the 'Cuda they are a little more offset to the right than shown in that pic.  No idea if that is original or correct.

Next time I'm down in the shop I'll try and snap a picture of mine.  Mine was stolen a couple of years ago, but the faded outline is still there and should be original for a 73

On my car, the right side of the by Plymouth emblem starts 2 1/16 of an inch from the license plate opening.  The end of where the Cuda emblem would start is around 1 15/16 of an inch.

Not sure why my pictures end upside down and sideways.  Haha.

Thanks for the responses

I think lining the "a" up with the edge of the "by Plymouth" emblem is typically accepted

Excellent... I've been wondering about this, now that I finally received (back ordered) a new "By Plymouth" emblem.

For what it's worth from an original owner...
