Re: D*O*D*G*E Period correct lettering

[Schuyler Wrobel <sky62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

there should be a fratzog right in the middle of your gage panel?
at least there is on mine, and most of the 62 Dodge Darts and Polaras
I've seen. I know the fratzog was the hood orament on the 62 Polara 500.
(been looking for one thats not the price of gold)
and I think it was designed for the 62 model year also.

and that canted Dodge type, I've seen, with the fratzog. so maybe it's
fine to letter your 62 car with that, besides some of these cars were
raced right on up to the 70's wern't they? so you can cheat a little  
on the
exact year. (o:
