Porsche
914 & 914/6 Badges
& Emblems
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 and materials changed several times throughout
the production run. Of course, European and North American specification badging
also 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 misunderstanding.
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... but if someone would like to donate an authentic factory 916
badge set, we'll add appropriate pictures. ;-D
