Right you are Roger!  As shown in the period photos, one of the decals
definitely faces the firewall, not the front of the car.  This is a common
mistake restorers make because they don't know any better and do what they
think looks good but isn't correct.  I've seen this mistake made by
expensive restoration shops that haven't done their homework.

This brings up a pet peeve of mine--- placement of the yellow air cleaner 
decals on 300F's (and I presume 300G's are the same). 

Almost everybody wants to put both air cleaner yellow decals 
facing front, so they are visible. This is simply NOT CORRECT. Left & right
air 
cleaners are identical, and the decals were put on BEFORE the air cleaners 
were installed on the motor, which means one decal (usually the driver's
side) 
should be facing BACKWARD! This is correct, and you can confirm it with a 
look at any period photos of the 300F/G engine compartments. 

I can't tell you how many beautifully restored 300F's I've seen 
with both decals facing proudly (and wrongly) forward. There's one on eBay 
right now. To me it's like looking at Angelina Jolie with a big red pimple
on 
her nose. 

300F'ly,

Roger Karlson
