Location: So. California | Would Chrysler have used a similar badge if one of their cars came with that option during these years? |

Location: So. California | Yes, I know this one is for Plymouth, and Dodge had it's own D500 designation. But I am asking if Chrysler would have used something. |

| Was this auction ended early? I guess I missed it!
Did they ever repop these emblems ? I thought I saw them once in a old Gary Goers catalog? |

Sorry,I misunderstood. I don’t believe there was ever a special emblem for Chryslers with crossram engines. If there was I’ve never seen it. I still think the coolest looking badge ever was the Fuel Injection one. |

| Rams were only available on Letter cars for Chryslers and they had their own emblem packages. |

Location: So. California | That's not true at all. It was available as an option in all lines except Valiant and Imperial. I remember seeing a couple of original New Yorker ram cars as well.

Location: California | I’ve read that there were 93 DeSoto Adventurers made with the “power charge” cross ram option. They didn’t get any special emblems either. Wonder why? |

Not sure about "power charge" but the 1960 Desoto brochure did call it "Ram Charge". Optional but only on the Adventurers.

Location: California | “56D500boy”,I had thought the correct term was “ram charge”,but several members here referred to it as “power charge” in threads discussing cross ram desotos so I went with that name,thinking I was mistaken. Thanks for clearing that up. |

Location: northern germany | IIRC the different 60 Desto engines got the "Mark" designation. "Mark-2" (or Mark-1?), IIRC, was the 4V 383 engine, so Mark-3 was probably the 2x4V ?
