Did Plymouths ever accidentally receive Dodge steering wheel emblems? 1969 GTX question..

[Nutso]

I’m looking at a 1969 GTX ‘survivor’ (sort of) and it seems pretty original other than the aftermarket stereo. I noticed that the steering wheel emblem isn’t the Plymouth emblem but Dodge. Did the factory ever make mistakes like this? A GTX was a pretty high end car for an error like that. Have any of you seen something like this before? Thanks.

I would say yes. In the mid-late 70's I worked at a Dodge dealership. We got allot of miss-badged cars in. Cordobas and Chargers Aspen and Volaries.
Interior and exterior.

Not likely, but if ever saw how things worked in the plants......

Nothing a small screw driver and the correct emblem won't fix!

When I bought my '70 GTX back in 1997, it had a Road Runner 'Beep Beep' steering wheel button. I knew the guy I got it from had switched it out.

Luckily for me, another friend with a '69 Road Runner had a Plymouth button in his steering wheel...... so we traded and we were both happy.

Relatively, that is a miniscule error compared to what came out of the factory back in those days. And not only Mopar.

I bought a new 1977 GMC Suburban that came with Chevrolet Ralley Wheel centres. The GMC dealer warrantied me a new set of GMC stickers for the centres.

A coworker of mine a long time ago saw a car on the production line with an 'Aspen' medallion on one side and a 'Volare' medallion on the other side.

That reminds me...

My grandfathers 1950 Plymouth had the emblem on the front of the hood mounted upside down from the factory. I was the first one to notice as I was washing it for him, sometime in the mid sixties. He traded it in at the local claremont Chevy dealer for a new 67 Belair.

About twenty years later, in the claremont villages, I spotted a 50 Plymouth, parked at the library. Sure enough.... still had the upside-down emblem.
I should have hunted down the owner, and bought it back. Clearly a better car than the Chevy, long dead by that point.
