<VV> engine lid

[Sadek Charles H DLVA]

Wait a minute!!

Folks, many years ago in the Wash DC area, there was an original 64 with a
65 style set of id plates-plain Jane, original, original owner car.  This
car happened to be marked 64. We all wondered about this.

In other words, all things are possible. Like theft...:>)  or factory
running out of certain parts or id plates and having the others on hand..or
having an odd ball plate within... or ?

OK I'm asking the experts. I recently purchased a 63 Monza coupe with
factory 
AC. The car has been through a few owners and somewhere along the line it
was 
changed to look like a 64.Everthing,including interior, trim,rear
suspension, 
taillights etc are 64. The engine lid has the holes for the crossed flags, 
but no other holes for the Corvair nameplate. On close inspection none were 
filled, drilled or moved. The front panel has a 64 grille bar but again no 
holes 
for the 63 triangle emblem, nor does it appear to ever to have had any. 
Wouldn't a factory AC car have the 95 horse engine, thus no crossed flags? I

can see 
the lid being changed but to what? Thoughts?
