Robert,
I agree with Sid. On my 64, the moulding runs all the way to the headlight
bucket and does not taper and is concave (innie). In 1965, the 1600s did
stop the trim at the front flare, but it was still concave. It tapered to a
point.
67.5s were the first cars to have the "late" moulding that was convex
(outie). It tapers to a point as well.

Robert,
The 67.5 cars are somewhat orphaned (much like the 65 1500) when it comes to
Roadsters. That is because they are transition models. The side trim
moulding on the 67.5 is just like the 68 - 70 cars - convex and smooth.
Exactly. The 65 1600 - 67 is the side trim that is somewhat boxy (concave
on the face). The 1500s had similar trim except it goes all the way to the
headlight trim ring, and the front end and back end don't taper to a point -
they are round and "clipped". If you see one, it will make sense.
