Chatelaine // 1958 Chatelaine) The problem is to know when the change occurred: the few "1956" brochures and ads I found show the old opening, but nothing in these documents can confirm the 1956 model year. The change was made for sure for the 1957 MY, as there is both a picture of the new opening and a 1957 mention in the concerned documents. My screen can't be trusted when the details depend on light and contrast like here: I can't help to see what kind of door opening has this car, sorry. _____ Off-topic: I found these ads about a (1962+?)
