The door and quarter posts are a good bit wider on 64 and earlier cars than 65 and later cars. |

Later, a 66 from the gallery
A close up of my son in my 58
If it has vent wings they are also wider on the early cars. |

In 65 the divider bar between the door window and the vent window was put on an angle. The earlier cars, that divider bar was straight up and down.
On a 64, with no windows in the body, the quarter window opening is about 13 inches tall at it's highest point measured on the flat section in front of the pinch weld.
In 65, they got about 1-1/2 inches taller. _________________ Mother Nature is a Mean Evil Bitch! |
