1970 Cuda Tail Panel Emblem -Painted with Lt or Dark Argent? - 03/01/16 06:45 PM

For the 1970 cuda tail panel emblems that had the border painted argent were they done in light or dart argent?

Any pictures of original examples would be much appreciated.

Thank you taking a look at my question for any answers/pictures.

I know some of the early Cuda finish panel emblems had an argent border, as to light or dark argent?, there's also another possibility, "IF" the early emblems border was done in argent to blend in with the argent painted tail panels, then "medium" argent could also be a viable candidate, until someone can produce a factory drawing/doc of an emblem and it's treatment/application, there's a lot left for interpretation

I've attached pictures of an NOS early tail panel emblem with the argent paint. The argent is darker than that argent found on tail panels.

One thing I don't think that is left up for interpretation is that the tail panels were finished in argent. They were not. For a 'cuda they were organasol black only.

Tail panels painted in argent were for Barracuda Gran Coupe models, which never had the 'cuda nameplate on them. They has the three pin scripted Barracuda nameplate.

Some early cars(Cuda designated models)had textured argent tail panels, these cars do exist, perhaps the argent Cuda scripts and argent tail panels were intended finish options, but later canceled?, perhaps the argent finished emblems were either another vendor source? or pre production qualifying run?
