What year did they start putting the PentaStar Logo on the right front (rear) lower fender?

Thanks.

I assume you mean all Mopars, not just e-bodies. e-bodies had them since day 1. as a company, the Pentastar logo was created in '62 as the new logo for Chrylser in '63 forward until retired in 2014. as for when they started putting it in that same spot, I don't know.

Did all e-bodies have them? My 74 Challenger doesn't but I'm the 4th owner.

I could be wrong for sure. I've seen them on 72's. this old brochure shows a '74 that doesn't http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/images/vintage-advertising/1974CPBrochure/1974%20cp%20brochure%20page34.jpg

Yes I did mean all Mopars.  My other car 1962 Polara 500 does not have one.

So starting in 1963 makes sense.

Thanks.

My 74 original paint does not have them.
