I have that emblem boxed-up for you. I just haven't had a chance to get over to the post office yet.

Here's a view of the underside of the hood, right at the nose. The red arrows point to the two round cutouts that indicate where the mounting holes are drilled for the crest. The drill holes are approximately in the center of these cutouts. This car is a Ninety Eight, so the forward cutout has not had a hole drilled. The stud seen in the second cutout is for the mounting post on the hood spear.

I've done a bit of checking on the proper color of that crest. The drawings in the catalog show it as being black over red, but if I look closely at the photo of my grandpa's '61 it's clearly white over red. I thought they may have had two different versions of it, as they did with the crest on the poverty caps, but after checking the parts manual it seems that there is only one part number- 580996.

I checked my hood again as I replaced the insulation yesterday and there are no holes so it is either a new hood or came that way.
Thanks again
