    I had a question regarding the Tri-Shield on the hood of my Skylark. I've seen some Skylark's with the Tri-Shield being in color and others where it's purely chrome, mine is just chrome. Just curious if both were options from the factory or not.

    Thank You

    I seem to remember my 72 having the Red White and Blue coloring, possibly under a clear plastic that fit the emblem.

    I bought an all chrome one on the board awhile back....Jim

    I used to think they were just chrome too because mine never had any colour. But I did notice a very small flake of blue a while back when I looked really close. I'm guessing they were red, white, and blue and most have lost their colour over time!

    Oh okay.

    It was just confusing for me seeing both, and I was just curious if the full chrome was a 72 only style or if it was a way to differentiate a Skylark coupe and a Skylark Custom.

    They came colored. I have an NOS one. Over the years the paint wares off.
