Under Door Sill Plate Wire Retainers

NOTE: This post was separated from another thread so that a discussion could follow without disturbing an ongoing wanted request. Will expand and move again if this starts to expand outside of a single (66) year discussion

Interesting.  My 9/65 San Jose 1966 car has these, and I understood they were a 1965 detail and that the 1966 cars had tape holding down the harness.  My car also had 1965 SS wheels, both of which I assumed were just carryover details from 1965.  So what cars really got these and what cars did not?

Going to move this post so that we can get in an area for discussion and away from a Wanted ad  ;)

Jim: I have found the clips used on 65-66 and also cloth tape applied over the top.  Thought I had seen them on 67-68, but all these cars seem to blend together!
