Right before the January 1953 Corvette introduction, it was noted it was against the law to use the American flag on logos, so they came up with a nod to Louis Chevrolet's heritage with the fleur-de-lis and popped that as well as the bowtie on the replacement flagged logo. You can find this emblem residing at the Corvette museum in Bowling Green, KY.



Revised emblem:

Thanks!!!

BTW the bowtie is on the vette. It's in the middle of the flap on the right side as you are looking at the crossed flags.

I actually rather like it, which is why I chose not to mod at all. It may be that I think it goes well with my VR Camaro. Red + Gold = quite nice I think.

Even though the Corvette has it's own distinctive logo, the "bowtie" is on the Vet. It's incorporated into the flag design, just not as noticeable:

I like my bowties... painted black.

Chrome...ok.
Gold reflective... don't think so.

But I still just painted the entire thing matte black. Still gotta represent, just not so discolored

I like them just huge gold ones on a grey and black car are an eyesore to me; getting blacked out.

I can't do without the bowtie, it has to stay at least on the back! I will only remove it up front when I get a new grill. In the meantime, I spiced my front bowtie up with some plastidip! And soon it will be CFM!



I agree with you that it stands out a lot, but I'd rather it be there than nothing at all. At least if the car is factory. I can't imagine a stock camaro without the front bowtie and ESPECIALLY the back bowtie.
