We decided to go with the Cobra emblems on the front fenders.  These would have originally been included with the Ford 3 x 2 Carburetor Set Up.  All images ©Virginia Classic Mustang Inc

Here is an image showing the original markings that were originally applied to the front radiator support on this particular Mustang.  These markings were applied before the final black paint.  The "76A" is the code for the Convertible Body Style, the "3" is the paint code for Poppy Red, the "D6" is White Interior with Black Appointments, the star was apparently drawn by a creative assembly line worker.  All images ©Virginia Classic Mustang Inc
