That's the best way to break into a car, go for the smallest window.

Nice spot Jason.

You can just imagine the female operators sitting at their workstations doing this tiresome job, picking up wheels putting them on the axles and placing them in the baseplate, Day in Day out. A handsome young postie walks down the isle to the sales office and spots one of the Girls and gives Her a smile, what does She do, picks up a wheel from the wrong hopper and puts it on the end of the axle and clunk, hiss, bang...one undersize wheel fitted to a pristene brand new Studebaker, never to be seen again until many Years down the line, a collector called "Nearlymint" picks it up and spots the wheels are not all the same size...

Lucky o'l Jason, he does it again... :D

Very nice Jason, I wonder what the young lad thought when he discovered this (that's if he noticed).

This 75b Ferrari Berlinetta was riveted before the window unit had been properly seated.
The paint on the dashboard is in good shape and the window unit is not cracked. The base rivets look good too.
