FYI - Marv, your dates are incorrect, see  attached!


 
 
Hi Herb, 
 
 Actually my dates are not incorrect.  Note it says  "approximately 
February 5th ".   I don't want to start a  lengthy discussion of which day was the 
first for each Chrysler Corp model so  lets agree that it was probably 
complete by the bulletin date. If you want  the actual release date you need the 
Engineering ECR and the document Stamping  and Assembly would have used to 
broadcast it.  Service is usually a  little later with parts in the system.  
 
I have several different bulletins providing releasing information  so it 
is my opinion that it was a catch up with  production.  After Lynn Townsend 
mandated the new badge, Stamping and  Assembly division was tasked with 
providing the holes in production.  I  can't recall what the tooling looked like 
but I am sure it was with no  obsolescence.  This means that production 
would start installing the badge  after all fenders in the system were used up.  
So  by the time the  bulletin went out most cars being shipped had the 
pentastar since the inventory  for each plant would have been exhausted.     The 
Forward  Look badge was officially dead at this time.  All suppliers were 
instructed  to replace the twin v's in all new tooling and glass  etching 
templates.  
 
Now I suppose in Mr. Jett's case, a 64 model,  a customer could have  
requested and paid for a left side application.  I can recall many at the  time, 
asking if their car was shorted.  A reason for the  curb-side-only 
application was provided.  
 
For the trivia nuts we actually had a Corporate identify office who  
published and approved all applications of the mark. Many times I had to march  
over and get a sign off of the mark in my parts. You were not allowed to use 
it  without dimensional approval.    That is all I can  offer.     Marv
