C3 Corvette Emblem

Sports car enthusiasts around the world admire third-generation Corvettes. Instantly recognizable by their shark-like features, C3 models are some of the most notable Corvette releases Chevrolet ever made. These 1968-1982 variants were also packed with over 300 horsepower for an exhilarating experience behind the wheel. 

While designing the C3 series, Chevrolet combined aggressive exterior design with powerful engines and aerodynamic features to produce a performance vehicle that stood out from the competition. These characteristics make C3 Corvettes some of the most popular classic cars on the market today. 

Drivers and collectors of all ages dream of owning a C3 Corvette. If you’re fortunate enough to have one in your garage or showroom, you understand the importance of keeping its exterior in mint condition. Every detail is crucial to the look of your Corvette, including your C3’s signature emblems. 

Because exterior emblems are small components directly exposed to the elements, they can easily become lost or damaged over time. Top Flight Automotive has beautiful replacement C3 exterior emblems to put the finishing touches on your restoration project.

Importance of C3 Corvette Emblems

Vehicle manufacturers use exterior emblems to convey branding and other important information about their cars. Your vehicle may have small badges highlighting a series name, engine build, anniversary year or another important detail about that specific model.

Chevrolet has included exterior emblems on Corvettes since the first models were released. Corvette emblems boost brand awareness and help collectors identify a model in seconds.

C3 exterior emblems are distinguishing features that contribute to your Corvette’s collector value. You’ll impress competition judges, collectors and fellow sports car enthusiasts with historically accurate emblems in place.

When to Replace Your C3 Corvette Emblem

After years of driving, your C3’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components can start to deteriorate. Everything from sunlight exposure to moisture to minor collisions can cause exterior parts to become damaged.

If your C3 Corvette emblems are missing or starting to show signs of wear and tear, it may be time to replace them. Consider purchasing new exterior emblems if:

• The emblems have stains from inclement weather or other substances.
• Insects and wildlife have chewed or scratched your emblems.
• Factory adhesives are starting to lose their hold.
• An emblem was stolen from your Corvette.
• Corrosion has developed on exterior surfaces surrounding the emblem.
• Part of the emblem is bent or missing.

Corvette Crossflag Logos

Corvette’s signature logo is the Crossflag. The Crossflag emblem is one of the first features collectors look for when they see a Corvette, as its design communicates where the model falls on Chevrolet’s historic manufacturing timeline.

The original Crossflag logo appeared on C1 models to distinguish Corvette from other Chevrolet brands. The design featured two flags — a black-and-white checkered racing flag and a flag with the French fleur-de-lis symbol. 

The Crossflag design has received slight modifications with each Corvette series. Your vehicle may feature a Crossflag emblem with or without a fleur-de-lis symbol, flag poles, circular border or Chevy chevron, depending on its model year.
