I know that the 911 script on the engine lid wasn't used at first. I've read that none of the cars built in 64 originally had it. The way I've heard it, owners wanted people to know that they had a 911 and not a 912 so the factory began placing the diagonal script on the engine lid. I've read that it was common to fit the script to cars that originally didn't have it.

I would think that pictures from the day would be the only way to answer this. So, a question for people with lots of old magazines: when was the 911 script first placed on the cars?
