Interesting subject. I had never paid any attention to the Fisher Body logo until a number of years ago when someone brought it to my attention. From then on I started looking at every survivor I came across. This is what I found. All survivor cowl induction cars had the Fischer Body logo on the hinge, all Malibu's had no markings and NO 70 Chevelle had the part number. My understanding is the part numbered units came over the counter in later years. What I cannot understand though is the is NO difference between a Malibu hinge vs an SS hinge other than the springs so there must be something more than coincidence why I find the Fischer Body logo only on SS cars. It does not seem to matter which plant or time period the car was produced though I have not looked at any Oshawa survivors.
