I'm shooting from the hip .... so here goes
Black Chevy on left has proper " V" and "Chevrolet" emblems on front & rear ... but they are supposed to be GOLD
Black Chevy ( Right ) has the '55 emblem on rear deck lid
Again ... I'm shooting from the hip here.

Again, I think it has to do with the engine in the car.
I agree with Dennis that the "V"s are supposed to have a gold tint, at least on Bel Airs. Pictures in "Collectible Automobile's" article on the Chevies show what appear to be silver "V"s on lesser models with a V8. I know that '57 Chevies with six-cylinder engines didn't have the "V" on the front, just the Chevrolet script. I'm not certain, but I think that the car with the Chevy emblem on the decklid was originally a six. It wouldn't have had the "V" on the front and rear, and the colorful Chevy badge would have looked better on the decklid than the Chevrolet script. If it was originally a six but now has a "V" on the front, especially a silver one, it was probably added when the engine was switched, for appearance's sake.

Rick, I always thought that the silver V indicated a V*, 265cid but have never heard. And the gold V was to indicate the Power Pack 283.
Still not sure. And, I did not notice the emblem on the trunk until it was talked about here. Thanks for the good info.

What bozo would put fender skirts on a two door LeSabre?
It really doesn't need it. All a 1960 Buick ever needed was gas, oil and love. And to be driven.
