3macboys Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I recently picked up this emblem and can't figure out what it fits. The only reference to the Mopar part number 2597901 that I can come up with is for an Australian built Mopar, which really has me puzzled how what appears to be an NOS piece ended up in Southern Ontario, Canada. It's about 3 inches or a bit wider in diameter. Any help is appreciated. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 The part number would put it in the 1964-66 timeframe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the pictures that I can find have this style of emblem, including the two 65 convertibles that I parted out a few years ago And I was sort of thinking something like the 60 quarter panel but not the same either Your time frame was what I was thinking just from the design but I can't seem to find anything that matches, which is getting me more curious about the Aussie connection... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 My eyeballs are not the best so the images seemed like it. I had a 1964 Plymouth that used the color scheme on the front hood ornament. Were Plymouth’s sold down under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of - yes, but you need to start here - Chrysler Valiant - Wikipedia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They built their own large car as well - until 1972 when they replaced it with a variation of the Valiant Dodge Phoenix - Wikipedia The Valiant was sold in here New Zealand, with local assembly beginning in 1963. There were a few unique to NZ variants. The big Dodge Phoenix was not marketed here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
