Tri-shield emblem on 72 GS convertible

[gnx396]

Can anyone tell me why a 1972 GS convertible with a 350 4V would have a tri-shield medallion on the nose of the hood? The VIN# and information on the data plate/body tag on the cowl confirms that this car is a GS. I thought that the hood might be off a Skylark, but the hood is a GS hood. The medallion looks out of place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure but both my 72 Customs have that piece, and I've noticed regular Skylarks don't seem to have it.

My 72 costum conv has it too & I have seen 3 72 with that emblem on the GS hood when i lived in the Seattle area. :eek2: Lee

My skylark 350 also has that emblem on the hood. I like it.

Someone really liked that emblem and mounted it on the GS hood :shock: :Dou:

I agree with Dan...

My understanding was that all non-GS hoods had the emblem in '72..and GS hoods did not.
