Why is the pentastar emblem only on the lower right front fender?

The prevailing theory is so you can see it from curbside.

I know the Steelers helmets are one sided do to cost years ago and now its tradition. What Big said Ive also heard, and probably cost.

A question I to have pondered................................. but never bothered to ask.

Big Johns explanation makes sense though.

I have also been told that the difference between the gold and silver pentastar was:

silver= small block/6 cyl
gold= big block

Any truth to this?

Silver = faded gold.

The Pentastar logo was placed on the lower passenger-side fender of all Chrysler products, including non-US brands, from 1963 into the 1972 model year. It was placed on the passenger
side fender so it could be viewed by passers-by, a subtle method of getting the symbol ingrained in the public's mind: a nameplate has to be read, but a symbol is quickly recognizable without reading. Thus left-hand drive cars had the Pentastar on the right fender, while right-hand drive cars had it on the left.
