The 25th Silver Anniversary Emblem that Wasn't

There are claims that the emblem below was used on the first few (maybe 50) Silver Anniversary CJ-5s. You can find these for sale on eBay for $300+.

In reality, this emblem was used on the 1979 Concord (ouch). In addition to being the 25th anniversary of the CJ-5, 1979 was the 25th anniversary of AMC. To celebrate, AMC produced a 25th anniversary edition Concord and painted it Quicksilver Metallic, just like the Silver Anniversary CJ-5. This emblem appeared on the front quarter panels of the Concord. You can see that in the flyer and picture below. At this point, there is no physical evidence that this emblem was ever used on the 1979 Silver Anniversary CJ-5.
