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 oddball

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 -
