Porsche 914 & 914/6 Badges & Emblems
Constant, then Constant Change
Age,
frequent restoration and rampant modification of Porsche
914 and 914/6 models has created confusion as to what came from the
factory in
many component categories. Factory badging is a good example. Although
emblems
on the 914 are sparse, finishes, materials and even quantities changed
frequently after the 1972 model year. Of course, European and North
American
specification badging differed to support the dual marketing schemes
(VW-Porsche in
Europe and
Porsche in North America). After-market products, dealer options and
owner
personalization have also served to cloud understanding of what
actually left
the factories in Wolfsburg and Zuffenhausen many years
ago. Inaccuracies
and oversights on this topic in popular Porsche 914 authenticity
publications
have further increased confusion.
The buttons on the left lead to pages with detailed
descriptions, comparisons and pictures of
authentic factory Porsche 914 & 914/6 emblems. Perhaps more
importantly,
each emblem is associated with the correct Porsche 914 model(s) and
model year(s).
NOTE: Porsche 916 badging is briefly described (but not pictured) on the "Crest Badges" page. After all. this is P914, not P916.
