It it supposed to have mounting pins, or no?
I've found emblems the right color, but some.have three.mounting pins and a couple don't. Which is correct? My blue oval emblems are hopelessly clouded and faded and in need of replacement.

I just changed both front and back. The trunk is a stick-on and i'm pretty sure it had 3 locating pins. I'll take a look at the old one, to confirm. The front one has pins for sure held on by two nuts.

The rear one does have locating pins.

Bryan, both the front and back originally had pins. You can buu replacements that are the same size but they are usually stick on. The problem with replacements is that they are not the correct color blue. They are more the shade of the modern ford oval emblem. A darker blue. I may may have some of the lighter blue, used emblems in good shape. I'll check and let know.

I know that the front one definitely has mounting pins and even a nut on the backside of the grille. Back when i bought the car, I didn't realize about the color difference and bought an aftermarket replacement, which is a dark blue. I've got a handle on some good condition used emblems...NOS emblems are hard to find and danmed expensive.
I hate looking at these cloudy, faded emblems and would like to replace these as soon as I can. I'm planning on repainting my grille, so it would be an important item when I do that.

Bryan,
This is what I have. I have 2 of them and I would say they are very good used condition. PM me if you are interested.
