Welcome to C.O.! What you have is about what it says, custom made emblems!
Please post some pics of your C.S. #1 so we can see the car #2 and see those emblems.

They should have been Cutlass in cursive script. You should have C.S. on B pillar, by rights on most vehicles this would have been the C pillar.

Nothing like that ever came from the factory. I remember seeing those stick-on emblems at chain stores.

If you like 'em, keep 'em. If not, take 'em off and find the correct emblems.

What it means is that a previous owner bought these aftermarket emblems from someplace like Summit or Speedway Motors and stuck them on to add 10 or 20 HP.

This seems to be the consensus

As Joe mentioned 10-20 HP with those emblems.

Be warned though,results vary widely depending on the size of your butt dyno.

Those 10-20 HP gains are what separate the men from the boys.

I always drop a 1/2 dozen sets directly in the tank.

If that's not fast enough ...

Then I crimp one on to each of the plug wires.
