Loren, that's the sticker/decal version. You can get the nice silk screened on aluminum version from CARS:

Is the CARS label embossed like the original?

The originals weren't embossed. The red & black graphics were silkscreened onto a thin sheet of aluminum.
This is how the ones available from CARS are done. Correct & look original.

Thanks for the help, guys. I ordered from Buick Classics and the price was 12.95With shipping total 20 dollars. Mine is worn so this will dress up the engine. I have found this site will always give you the info you need, great job and thanks again for all you do!!Bill

Bill, that's just a plastic sticker. The originals were aluminum disks.
The correct reproductions from CARS are MUCH nicer, well worth the extra $20.
