Are the vent window assemblies on the ribbed doors unique to 55 and down or can I use any up to 64? Th reason I ask is mine are badly pitted and I want to buy nicer ones.

55, 54, 53 only. the divider bar is different between the window and vent wing, the vent wing latches are unique to 55, 54, 53.

Late 52 as well.
The vent window frame is different too. The lower pivot pin is a lot longer on the later cars. You can cut it down and make it work with the lower pivot of a -55 door. Latches are different, but you can put the later ones in.
