Mark IIIs had one designed for them, BUT due to ever changing laws and regulations it wasn't used.
It was an old school sort of ornament and looked very much like the Continentals of the earlier 60s. In 72 the Marks got an elongated stand up type "Spring Loaded" ornament. My car actually had repair work where someone filled in the hole in the header panel where at some point in its' life another person drilled and added an ornament. When I got the car in 1985 and realized that it had a filled in hole I drilled out the bondo and added an ornament. The longer mark IV /V kind. At the time I thought it looked "cool" but as I got older I thought to myself NO this isnt how it came. I picked up a NOS header panel and it will be installed this Spring when I start doing body work on the mighty Mark III. I didnt want patched up holes on my car so..... Ive seen people actually drill holes into the top of the grille shell which really irks me!
