Trunk lid emblem?
My 72 sport Lemans convertible had a trunk lid (off car) with a Pontic emblem on it. That emblem has 4 studs. The trunk lid the previous owner painted to go with the car for assembly has three holes in it. Ames tells me the 72 has no emblem on the trunk lid. Is this a fact? If so, I now have three holes to fill on a painted trunk lid. Dang!!

I'm fairly certain it said PONTIAC in the middle below the trunk lock.
It may also have had a potmetal dealer nameplate on it. |

The three holes are near the center and mostly inline. I wonder why Ames doesn't list one for a 72 and they told me it doesn't have one.
I guess I have to fill them anyway and repaint. The Pontiac emblem I have has four studs and not in a line. |

Each model year lemans in 70, 71, 72 had its own emblem. 70 was longest and read “PONTIAC. 71 read “LeMans” and was the smallest of them. 72 Read ”Pontiac”. All three would have “sport” on rh corner if equipped with sport option

there are also two different versions of the "PONTIAC" emblem used on '71 & '72 A-bodies as well as Venturas, for a few years. Both emblems are identical appearance wise, except for the retaining pin placement. Have a good assortment of both in nice used shape, as well as NOS for my '71's. Need one, I can send pics. --------------- Our Pontiac A-body's ----------------------- '71 T-37 Coupe LS5 M22 Pont Engr Test car '71 1/2 GT-37 LS5 M40 '72 GTO LS5 M40 '72 2D27 L78 M20, aka "da Coupe", 447 & M23Z build ongoing for future seat time @ the track
