Porsche 914 & 914/6 Badges & Emblems
Constant, then Constant Change
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, materials and even quantities changed frequently
after the 1972 model year. Of course, European and North
American specification badging 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 confusion.
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.
