Straight Axle Corvette Emblem???

[David L.]

I bought this emblem shown in the photo below at Corvette Carlisle back in the 1980's or maybe 1990's. I knew it was NOT for a midyear Corvette gas door but I bought it anyway. It measures 4 3/4" in diameter. I do not know if it is original GM, reproduction, something else. It appears to be new.

Can anyone identify the emblem?

Looks like 59-60 Impala spinner cap insert,

I do see the black square in the upper right on the one you found and the upper square is white in the link Cecil posted.

Cecil,
It sure looks like the emblem in the link. I would have never guess that. It seems like it is too large (4 3/4" in dia.) for a spinner emblem but I will check it out.
Thanks,
Dave

Tom,
I do see the difference. It seems to me that this occurred in emblems used on some 63-67 Corvettes.

The spinner for the 59 -60 full size wheel cover is big.
