I think that early cars had more attention to detail and as production moved along the plant manager would work for efficiencies and cost cutting measures. There are a number of questions like this for 73 LeMans owners to debate regularly as well. One has to do with the argent paint on the tail lights, some are 1/4" trimed some are 1/8" some are argent paint and some are chrome. Who knows the answer to factory correct but a hint can be found on the back of every sales brochure ever printed:
"General Motors of Canada reserves the right to make changes at any time without notice in prices, colours, materials, equipment, specifications and models and also to discontinue models. This right may be exercised without incurring any responsibility with regard to cars previously sold."
I bet a black car should still have flat black between the moldings.
True. I'd go out to the garage Carl ... fresh air is good for a cold

Well... here's a quick look at whats its shaping up to be so far. I think i will have had my scariest moment of the whole project trying to snap in my one good Grande emblem without snapping it in half. A sweaty job! The rest should be easy now. Lots more to do yet including readjusting the trunk lid.
