Some of you are old enogh to remember or can go to the garage to look at the cars there to see if that is correct.
Some used sheet metal speed nuts and others push on sheet metal clips that went on the back of the panel, easy one way but were tough to take off. Later ones used plastic plugs in holes that expanded when the pins on the ornament were pushed into it.
In those days dealers used to screw their dealership labels on to your trunk, if your mad about license plate screws in your bumper how po'd would you be with that?
Most of these ornaments were white metal die castings that the plating blistered up on in a year or so. They looked nice when new though.
