warrior.....the blue paint behind the door cards is overspray from painting the underside of the doors. That was done long before any interior pieces were installed. There are three reasons that I know of that would account for your situation. The most common would be a miss stamped tag. Keep in mind that, the line workers generally went by the build sheet, not the tag. As the body shell came by, they would install the pieces they were fed from the queue. Another possibility would be the interior pieces were miss sequenced in the queue. Not too likely in that all the pieces would not match. The least likely scenario would be a mid production change order, when you consider what was involved in ordering a car at the time. The dealer wrote out a sales order and mailed it to the zone office. Zone would check the order for accuracy and prepare a build request and mail or teletype it to Central Office (Pontiac). There it would be checked again, and the build scheduled for Home Plant or one of the BOP plants. In the day before the internet, mail, telephone and teletype where not conducive to quick changes.
Out of queriousity what was your cars assembly plant, and what color was it.
