    Question hemi badge placement ?

    i am undecided on where to place the HEMI badge on my 69 coronet. i have brought the decision down to 2 spots. i would really like to know what the choice is from you guys because there are a lot of really impressive cars on here with a lot of thought to details. first 2 pics are general pics of the car. 2nd. 2 pics is where i have narrowed it down to and hence the poll.

    thanks in advance

    Fender as original had it.
    (I'm putting one on my 70 Superbee, fender)
    The way I see it, you worked hard for the Hemi and it has one...so SHOW IT!
    Just my opinion...
    BTW: Nice car.

    How about placing it below the Coronet emblem, but under the moulding. It just seems cramped under the Coronet emblem.

    Maybe it's because my Charger doesn't have a hemi, but I'd say neither as well. The newer font Hemi badge looks out of place to me. It's an amazing vehicle- IMHO simpler is better.

    Enjoy that awesome ride!

    I'm going to say neither as well. Those fonts just don't jive together at all. Beautiful car by the way.

    As always, it's your car, badge it how you like. IMO; Old School on the fender, late model on the hood. Here's what I did with the Challenger. The 330 will be on the fender. Good Luck!!

    Neither!! I say let them wonder about it. If anything, I'd put 383 emblems on it --if I was going to use emblems.

    A local guy has a '73 Rallye Challenger with 340 4 barrel emblems on the hood (as factory appearance). Under the hood lurks a 572 cubic inch HEMI putting out around 1200 hp.

    Maybe get a 60's style emblem, guy before was right, the new font doesn't fit in my opinion either. Maybe on the door like a charger??? just a thought to try. Maybe an older charger door emblem, maybe a '67-ish 426 Hemi emblem in place of the coronet emblem.?You know what they say, less is more, might be to busy with both emblems. Yes Nice car indeed!!
    68 Charger 572 HEMI, 69 GTX 440 4-spd, 70 GTX 6-pack 4-spd, 70 Runner 4-spd, 70 Bee clone, '10 SRT 8 B-5 Blue Chally, a couple Cummins, and old school power wagons. All Mopar land over this a way.
