The gold Chrysler "pentastar" was located on the passenger side only, 4.75 in. behind the wheel opening and 2.75 in. above the rocker panel (chrome strip).  Location may vary slightly - remember, it was the sixties!

Front Grill

It has long been argued that only color of the medallion in the center of the grill is red.  Evidence continues to show that some medalions were gold.  Most owners think the gold is just a faded medalion that has lost it's red color, leaving the gold flec of the original paint behind.  Lately a couple of stubborn, yet well informed owners swear their medalion is gold, has been gold and always will be gold.
