Does anyone know what the Significant of the different colors penstar's on the right side fender (Gold,Silver,Black)?
okay that makes sense, I'll buy thatAll were original gold, the gold weathers to a silver, some had a tin cap that fell off and it becomes black.
At least something like that.

What year you talking about? never saw a silver one on a car (maybe in the 90's), I have had Valiants with original gold ones.Premium Class Models were given a gold Pentastar. Other models were silver. Never saw a black one installed. The reason they were installed in the right side only is this side faced the curb when stopped.
Sorry for the Spelling error I did a voice to text. (Was driving and did not read it frist)And for future reference, it's called a Pentastar.
well I have 13 68 Furys and I have all 3 colors and I was puzzled as to why. My thoughts were that maybe they were made in different plants.What year you talking about? never saw a silver one on a car (maybe in the 90's), I have had Valiants with original gold ones.

If I had to guess I would say that this was originally a gold applique over on the black plastic, it has come off.As you can see in this picture it is black and this 68 is from Canada with 8500 original miles and it is a slant 6 . View attachment 494411 View attachment 494412
That is why I agreed with the early comment about the fading and the tin might have fallen offThere is only one number in the parts book for the part in any given year. The same part number was shown for the Valiant as well as the Imperial.
I cannot comment on Canadian built cars.

I found those on Valiant's, Dart's and other mid level cars.What year you talking about? never saw a silver one on a car (maybe in the 90's), I have had Valiants with original gold ones.

I was thinking about having a pentstar tattooed on my bald head.
A fellow mopar addict told me that some religious types could possibly burn me at the stake.
I'm not up on my religious stuff but I dont need the heat so i stepped back
