Those are classic cases ! Thanks for sharing.
I worked in a Dodge dealership for three years in the late
1960's.
. We had lots of "fun" too.
Peanut shells under the carpet in the front seat of a
Chrysler.
Something new every day. All factory supplied
stuff.

We had a 1958 Impala Conv. with the right rear seat side
panel having
a different color anodized insert from the left side. We
didn't notice
it for 2-3 years.
And working in a VW dealership, I
laid my drop-light on the carpet and
burned a hole in it. Right under
the drivers feet. I took a Mudguard
and cut out the Wolfsburg
Crescent and trimmed the carpet for it to
fit. Looked good and no one
outside of the shop ever knew, If it ever
got to a judging, you can hear
him now saying "I bought it new and
that's the way it
came!"

One of the web boards I go to, someone started a thread about

this
nugget:
When I was growing up, one of my parents' friends
was a Mopar dealer.
One day in 1960, he came by the house with a brand new
Dodge that had
just been delivered from the factory. There was different
model outside
trim on one side as compared to the other. In the interior,
the door
panels on the passenger side were white while the drivers side
was
black. It seems like some inspector in the factory should have
noticed.
Now you have an argument for restoring one with
different trim on each
side -
