"Correctness" in parts-applications harkens back to Chrysler's
"middle-name": Never-say-
Never!!
The assmbly line would install whatever was handy--stories abound about
mis-placed/mis-matched trim pieces.
In VERY-late 57 M.Y., around mid August, Dodge apparently ran-out of
their 1957 dashes, & so began installing 1958 dashes (with the
forward-mounted rear-view mirror location) on their 1957 cars.--There is
also the myth that some early 1958 Dodges may have had "left-over" Hemi
engines in them, but no legit car has ever been found.
