Originals sometimes turned a dark chocolate brown over period of time from the elements. Grey was B-body, like on the doors of 69 Roadrunner

This laminate piece was glued into the chromed pot metal emblem. Over the years several Mopar name plates used this exact same pot metal emblem casting with various laminate inserts for the various applications. The only reproductions I've seen were poorly made and not manufactured in the same way and therefore not correct in the details. NOS versions are out there but usually several hundred dollars when found.
