Emblem Question

[windsor8]

Does anyone have a theory on the significance of the "O" in the red ?

it is a adaptation of the original Dodge coat arms that featured a DUG...look it up...lol....it was said a few of the original symbols was produced but drew immediate criticism and thus ceased production...how much of that is true one can speculate on that on their own time....

Dug=dagmar= you know...those soft bouncy things.

It could be for Overland which Chrysler ended up with in a very roundabout way... Follow Overland to Willys and follow ownership.

I am not sure about the O but I always point out the BOLD USA!

Now that is a profound question !  I am inclined to agree with Plymouthy Adams' explanation

but I have always wondered about the Flying Zero on the 51 Chrysler's hood ornament. The 

Coat of Arms you pictured is a nice piece of art compared to the over simplified one used on the Omni.

I took a closer look at one I found at a swap meet. It was so dirty I only guessed at its design. It cleaned up as shown. Won't answer the question, but was found on Cslifornia. I have it on my truck.
