My original series V (purchased in '67) had the Chrysler insignia
also. Chrysler took over Rootes in '65 and built cars into '68 - I
think they put the insignia on all cars in the '67 time frame. Don't
know if they started as soon as they took over or not, but I believe
that most series V's and most Tigers from that time period probably
had them. Over the years they disappeared as cars were repainted (or
they just fell off), etc.
If someone knows more detail please post.

My very late 67 1A Tiger had these too. Right under the Powerered By 260 v-8
badge. It was great for confusing people.
