Mystery N.O.S. TRI SHIELD EMBLEM

Picked up this N.O.S. tri shield emblem yesterday. Part # 4488537s
I've tried looking up what it's to with no luck. I'm guessing 62-65 era
Any knowledge would be appreciate. Thanks Mike L

 

I have no idea, but it's really nice.

 

65 Buick special....get in touch with a guy on V8 who has a magnificent 65 beast, he has been looking for one forever! "gobuick" from Washington state?
p.s. the Skylark ones have tabs on the upper and lower of the medallion

 

Looks like a 65 Skylark tail light emblem although I'm not 100% certain.

 

Hello Gary- I seen a N.O.S. 1965 Special rear panel with the tri shield emblem on it on EVILBAY - the panel itself is part #4488536 just 1 # away from tri shield piece I have #4488537s. And makes sense that they should be together. However what throws me off when I look at tri shield in back that is on EVILBAY it doesn't have the 3 large mounting pieces around tri shield emblem on backside????

 

The reason I'm so sure is I had a NOS one like the one you posted, I don't remember the numbers though.
The only thing I can think of is possibly the 65 Electra?
I sent a pm to gobuick he might contact you? He might be able to shed some light on the number differences?

 

The one for the 65 Skylark is 4488538s.

 

Thank you

 

yeah , looks like the one from my '65 special between the taillights .

 

Hi,

Yep 65 Special, Special Deluxe had a plate that looked similar to a 64 Skylark, and the one for a Skylark has 2 tangs that go over the taillights edge

Does your emblem on your 65 Special have the same 3 big mounting studs like mine on back???
Thanks

 

Hi again,

The Special and Skylark emblems are nearly identical except for the 2 tabs on the Skylark version and both have 3 post, and if I had to bet will line up to either.

Here is a ebay ad for a Skylark emblem

Roger that
Thank you Jim
And the rest for all the information.
I was stumped.

 

I don't know about the numbers, but it looks a lot like a '64 Skylark. They have 3 mounting posts.

 

After looking at some pictures, I see it's not a '64. It has the little grooves all the way around it like '64, but also has a cove detail around the outside diameter that '64 don't have. 3 pins look similar to '64, but the back has less wave shape to it than '64. So all the help I've been is to eliminate it being from '64. Has to be close to that year I would think, or maybe a Wildcat, they have a lot of similar trim to Skylark.

 

Hey Mike,
I am still loving the interior I got from you. Thanks again! How is your back holding up?

Flint 67 GS, Let me know if it is for sale.

 

Hi,

64 is 2 pieces, thr outer ring and inner tri-shield



Also might be interested if you are putting it up for sale and no one here is a taker.

Regards,
Jim

 

Thanks ALL for help identifying this emblem .
Just posted in FOR SALE to be fair with ALL if interested.
Wasn't sure $$$$ price to ask - tried to ask reasonable $$$$

 

I wasn't even thinking about the fact that this one is a one piece emblem, as I knew '64 is 2 piece. I should have dug a little deeper before I started telling what I thought I knew, ha ha!
Either way, this is a pretty nice emblem you have. GLWS
