Why the difference in these two emblems?

[turbo39151]

Can anyone tell me?

or these Buick emblems.

 

[GNBRETT]

Are you asking what car they belong on?

 

[turbo39151]

Yes. Something like that.

The bottom TType emblem came off my 86 TType. The "new" emblem is not the same, thus I am curious to know what it came on. Also, you will notice the 2 buick trunk emblems. One is small and one is huge. I am pretty sure that the small one is the stock one for our cars. I think, from talking to turbofish38, that the larger one is for othe buicks...

Just trying to get additional input.

Nobody has details on the ttype emblems?

 

[GNBRETT]

You have (5) different emblems there. Which ones ru referring to?

 

[GNBRETT]

Well from what I can see the the T-Type badge with the black outline is correct for an 86 T-Type. The T-Type badge with chrome around it looks like its from a 87-89 Lesabre T-Type.

As far as the lower set of badges go the 3.8SFITURBO looks as if it's the one that belongs on the left side of the trunk on a T-Type/Turbo-T because it has no black outline and all chrome. The hood badge looks the same but with a black outline vs. all chrome.

The small BUICK emblem you have belongs on the right side of the trunk lid on a T-Type/Turbo-T/etc.. Those are very hard to come by.

The larger BUICK emblem im not really sure. Probably from an older Skylark or a Century possibly or maybe an older GS. Not really sure, sorry.

I was most curious about the ttype emblems because I wanted new ones for a restoration. However, these new ones I bought do not seem to be correct. The 87 model TR would have a "T" and not TType as far as I know. I as thinking that maybe these ttype emblems with chrome trim might have gone on 86 Ttypes with a chrome trim package as opposed to the blackout package I have...

Well what year is ur car? If it's an 87 then u need the small "T" badge for the fender. They are pretty easy to come by. The T-Type emblem was the same for all T-Types in 86 as far as I know. If ur car is an 86 then the "T" emblem in incorrect but the rest or ur badges are correct except for the larger BUICK badge.

It aint from a LeSabre. Those say LeSabre with the word T-Type under it. Do a search. Those are reproduction emblems. Buick only used the black border T-Type emblem.

 

[turbo39151]

I was thinking the TTYPE emblems were repro or used for another car. Thank for all the input. My question has been answered.

 

[ASturbo86]

I have an '86 T-Type that came with chrome trim emblems. Bought the car new so I know they have never been replaced.

The RPO code is B94.

83-86 B94 was the word T-Type. In 87 it was the red T in the black box on the front fenders.
