Re: Plymouth gold V (Canada) 1962 -63 and Golden Commando badge

The gold "V" was introduced in the fall of 1961 for Plymouth (front fender ahead of the wheel opening - need 2) at SPN 109140 and on Dodge on the rear panel just above the bumper (only one) at SPN 109142. That would have been late November, 1961. It was used on all V8 models. The base 313 was engine number SV-xxxx-C while the optional 361 was SV-HP-xxxx-C. The "Golden Commando" nameplate appeared on 361 V8 Plymouths in 1962 in addition to the "V". But nothing for Dodges with the 361 - just the "V"..

For 1963 the same "V" appeared on the front fenders of both Plymouth and Dodge cars with a V8 engine - 313-cid (TV-xxxx-C) and 383-cid (TV-HP-xxxx-C). No Golden Commando nameplates in Canada. I suppose part of the reason for no Golden Commando on Canadian 1963 Plymouths with the 383 is that there was no equivalent Dodge nameplate.. Canadian Plymouth and Dodge dealers had the same choice of series and body styles.

I don't know anything about Canadian cars.

The Golden Commando Power badge was used in '62 and 63. In '62 it designated the 361 and in '63 it designated the 383.

Hi all,

My memory is saying the gold V that is on the front fender of this 1963 Plymouth means it was originally a 313 Poly
Canadian car.

See here: http://davidsclassiccars.com/images/full/1963-plymouth-blvedere-wagon-no-reserve-3.jpg

Is that right? A fellow wrote me and he has a 1962 Plymouth also with the gold V emblem. Is that correct for a 1962
Plymouth in Canada?

Also, he was wondering if the "Golden Commando" badge was used on all 1962 and 1963 B-Body Plymouths?
