I went through 14 arms that I have collected and only found two that were the latter style. There must not have been too many 68 that got the latter ones.

Thanks to all that posted on this thread, I learned something.
I pointed this out to you in Fredricksburg when we were judging the white 67 GT500.

Yes you most grateful student knows that.  :) I learned more about the change over time line, the different finishes and how they can be changed by over polishing.

This is conjecture only, but I've seen where the flat style has a tendency to pop out of the slot and separate.  Looks like the curved style may be able to hold itself in the slot better, and may be the reason for design change.
