I have that Green Seville. Wonderful model. I never got why Chevrolet put the big gold anodized V under the emblem. To me it never looked right and looks added on as if someone went to a wrecking yard and robbed it from a 1950s Cadillac and added it to their Chevy! I assume it was to add to the Belairs appeal and make it appear more “up scale”

The "V" stood for "V-8." Lesser 1957 Chevrolets (six cylinder models) did not have "Vs." By the early '70's, even Cadillac had abandoned the "V" ... Why state the obvious?
