Hi Rollins: Welcome to the site. There are many helpful people here that share the same interest as you. You should take some time and introduce yourself to everyone on the Newbie section of the forum. Tell us about yourself and your car.
I happen to have a 1967 Olds Delta 88 Custom as well. Mine is a 2 door coupe. It looks like your 67 has rear side marker lights. My car does not.

Look on page #2 of the Fusick catalogue... https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=211107

Part # S6694 is listed as a 1966-67 Toronado Front End Panel Rocket Emblem. I believe that this part is the correct one for our cars.
Click on the link and take a look.

Jaybird, how sure are you of this? I've seen LOTS of emblems that look like this at various swap meets, and they're all different on the back. The Fusick listing just says that it has two mounting studs on the back. They ALL have two mounting studs, but what matters is how they're spaced and whether they're in line with each other or offset. I measured this on my car, the stud spacing is 0.75 inches, and the studs are in line with each other. The emblems I've seen have all had a larger spacing than this, and on most the studs are offset.

If you order one of these, let us know if it actually fits. Or you might want to call them first and ask about the stud spacing.

Jaunty75: I'm just taking somewhat of a guess. The size measures 5" like mine. I would order one if I needed it, but the one on my car is in good shape.

Thanks. A lot of them have the same or similar external dimensions but differ on the stud placement on the rear.

I think we've established without a doubt which emblem we're talking about. Jaybird has correctly pointed out that these appear to be available from Fusick, and he's given a part number. The question is, will it actually fit?

I have seen emblems that look just like this at swap meets and car shows. I saw about four different ones at the swap meet at the Mid-Ohio Chapter OCA car show in Columbus this past weekend. They all look the same from the front in terms of length and width, but none of them had the 3/4" stud spacing, which is unusually narrow. Most of the emblems I've seen have the studs spaced two or three inches apart. The studs fit through deep holes on the grille, so they not only need to be correctly spaced, but they need to be the correct length.

What rollins needs to do, since he's the one who wants one of these, is to call Fusick on the phone and ask them what the stud spacing is on the emblem that Jaybird has pointed out. The Fusick catalog says that these fit a Toronado, not a Delta 88. We're ASSUMING that these will also fit a Delta, but we don't know this.

rollins, go to the website (www.fusick.com), get the phone number, call them up, give them the part number (S6694), ask them what the stud spacing is, and let us know what you find out.

Rollins: Sorry for steering you the wrong way. I called Billions & Trillions about two pieces of stainless steel trim.
They wanted $675.00 for them. I said that was a little too pricey. The next thing I heard was CLICK!
