It could very likely be a factory mistake.

It's one of those choices you have to make during a restoration....Do I correct the mistake, so sitting on the show field the car appears "correct" or do I leave it and spend the rest of my life explaining why the car is "wrong" :thinking:

Exactly. I've gone back and forth ever since I've had the car. Thought it was over and mind was made up to just sell them. Now I'm inclined to just install them.  :looney: :looney:

It's exactly like the studs/nuts issue holding on the fenders....for some reason the ''rule of thumb" is that all AAR's and T/A's got them and your car was wrong if you just had bolts......but the original paint AAR I'm working on right now....never been apart....and it has the standard bolts like every other car... :dunno: :looney:

Don't worry, Chrysler had some chimpanzees working on the line back then too.

Just to add to the confusion on this trim, I have a car that had them on when I got it. It was a cuda with a white vinyl top and no louvers. The tag was stolen so I can't confirm what was factory. They were always white not just painted over black. Idk.

   My cuda is an original louvered car with a vinyl top. Have the fender tags and the broadcast sheet with A67,J68 . Has the standard non textured trim on it. I have owned the car for 42 years so I'm pretty sure they are original.

what's the car's SPD & what plant?

anyone with an AAR w/factory louvers & textured moulding believed to be correct?

   It has a SPD of 421--out of the Hamtramck (sp) plant.

421 = 42nd week of 1971 

I guessed wrong - see Reply #29 by 6bblgt
