Now that you have mentioned it, the script is not right, is it?? Is yours that way?? If so, how did it get that way? Through a restoration? What is the scoop??

Yes, my passenger side script is incorrectly mounted as well.
I am 4th owner of the car and I have not been able to determine why it is like that yet. The owner before me (owner #3) had no idea.
When I mentioned it to him before I bought it he said "Those are the original holes from the factory". I informed that they aren't. Of course people from this site pointed it out to me. We had thought it might have been hit in the rear, but the rear is all original from what I can determine.
The owner before me (#3) is the one that painted it Acapulco Blue from Lime Gold. (Sorry Arlie).
My assumption was it was Owner #1 or 2. Maybe there was some damage to the rear quarter or they fixed some problem and it was mounted wrong afterwards. I'm not sure but someday I'll take it apart and figure it out I'm sure.
I've tried to get some more info but getting a response has been difficult. I don't want to push too hard. I know from his son that he's pretty upset about getting rid of the car and is now regretting it and wished he hadn't sold it. So I may never know exactly what the scoop is.
