Terry, a friend once bought a new Chevy II or Nova (I don't remember which) in the late 60's and the badges and trim on each side were different. She had the car for a year and I pointed it out to her. She had never realized it .

One of the Falcons I loaded up had pressed steel wheels on one side and mag wheels on the other. The security people didn't pick it up and to avoid be stranded for hours I didn't say anything either. It came out of the Factory that way. I guess it was sorted out at the dealers eventually.

The right side has a stainless channel to hold the glass and it is held in place by screws on the inside of the frame. The left side does not have a stainless frame to hold the glass. The glass is held by a rubber molding that has a groove that fits over the edge of the frame. The frame edge has the screw holes like the right side but there is no evidence there were ever any screws in them. In the newsletter pictures there are some phaetons where the stainless window frame is not visible and it looks like a rubber molding instead. Did later production use rubber instead of the stainless channel? Is it possible that my car being renumbered was still on the line in early 1937 and ended up with the rubber seal on the left side? The fellow who previously owned my car got it in 1947 and parked it in 1953. He did not make any changed during his ownership.

I finally stumbled on a way to add pictures to my question.
