Hey guys, Iâm brand new to the forum. After having fallen in love with mopars many years ago I bought my first coronet. I currently own a 70 Cuda and a 72 Dodge Dart a 2004 Dodge Ram, a 2010 Chrysler Sebring and a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I bought a 67 coronet with 80,000 original miles. It is in very nice shape, rides and drives like a new car. Someone started a restore on it and never finished. Just my type of project. Id like to have the vin decoded and wasnât sure about the coronet emblems that go along the mid rear quarter panels. I have the individual coronet letters that I salvaged off a coronet 500. But aside from the coronet there are two more holes that I have no idea what would go there. Any help would be appreciated and if Iâm posting in the wrong forum just bump me along to where I need to be until I get used to the forum. Thanks Ray,

Hello again Ray,
Regarding the emblems for your Coronet, being that it is a WH model that would make it a Coronet 440 trim level model, so along with those Coronet letters that you have there should also be a 440 medallion which has two mounting studs on the back side of each medallion and those two studs go through the two holes that you're asking about on each of the quarter panels. The factory part number for both of those 440 medallions is 2763178 and the part number for the mounting nuts for those medallions is 6026431 and of course you will need four of those mounting nuts. I have also posted a picture of a 1967 Coronet 440 2 door hardtops drivers side rear quarter panel showing the locations of the Coronet letters and the 440 medallions below.
