I came across a different kind of side emblems than the classic set.
I suppose that this was limited to the early S1 of 1979-1980.
But does anybody know what was the difference and whether they were simultaneously used in 1979-1980 (i.e. some cars had the one kind of emblems and some the other)?
Was it perhaps for cars destined for different countries or different car trims?
Does anyone know when each one was used?
Thank you

Re: Side Emblems
Yeah, I'm not sure the second one was ever used as a side-emblem on RX-7s, though some American-market models seemed to use it as a rear valance badge (like, as MR TOOL says, the RX-4 did). Sometimes it seems just a case that Mazda had a few boxes left over at the factory to get rid of

I am located in Canada. The two 1979 7's that I have owned had the Rotary engine badge as shown on the red car. It is not there in later models.
When in doubt....hit the gas.
22 7's in the yard makes me a collector...not a redneck.
