| In the early days , the 300 medallions I believe reproduced within the club came as Undrilled discs . You had to drill yourself , a dicey procedure to put the 300 and the letter . And if drilled from back the plastic broke out in front disfiguring the front near the pins . Or maybe the 300 pins were drilled and you did the letter . I forget the details . They were made by club mainly for fixing the faded or peeling back paint on side medallions , as the letters or numerals often fell off , poorly attached by tiny push on tinnerman clips that rusted . You lost them . Sometimes a dab of body caulk ( dum dum) was on the back too . Avoided rattles or movement which aggravated all this . I remember doing that drilling in 70 ‘s — I attached them all in the holes with weatherstrip adhesive too . So many times the little F or G was gone or the 0 . Taking it from elsewhere or parts car was common and 62 had them on trunk if I remember , curve might be wrong etc .but more common sport had the side medallions . But no F or G By late 80’s most 300 had this problem fixed . To the clubs credit , they have stood up well. But more than one might be missing letters in the back seat … Same thing happens with grill medallion glue. Epoxy does not work it shears off. Rubber cement seems best , maybe silicone . Hope that helps..
