if you look close you can see where the emblem was




Also notice the hood bezels are chrome and so is the (base model) D. side mirror. I have noticed that original cars with painted sport mirrors and/or hood blackout also had black scoop bezels while those with no blackout and/chrome mirrors had chrome bezels.

The problem is that so many of the smaller details on the A-body cars have been added or changed by thier owners that many of the smaller details are lost in time, very few unmolested examples still exist to study.
