Yeah, Thanks for posting...that's funny. Reminds me of the time, some years ago, back during Chrysler's really dark days of quality control, of the customer who got Plymouth trim on one side of his car and Dodge on the other....they were both built in the same plant. (probably one of those old Monday morning cars, after the typical weekend hangover).
In more recent years, though, stuff like that is more likely to be from slipshod body-shop repair than from the new-car plant. I remember, when I had my blue '95 Toyota Celica, some wise-guy kids, with nothing better to do in their spare time, decided to rip off the chrome Toyota emblem on the trunk. They scratched up the paint around the emblem while doing so....so the trunk had to be repainted (a beautiful Iris blue pearl color). They replaced the actual emblem OK, but the TOYOTA CELICA badge on the trunk, which were supposed to be Horizontal (one on each side), they replaced vertically.......
TOYOTA
CELICA
Technically, I could have complained, but the re-paint job looked good, everything else was OK, so I decided not to make them redo the badges....I just drove it like it was.
BTW, Buick, for the last couple of years, has finally dumped those cheap-looking chrome-outline shields (I never liked them) and, except for the steering-wheel hub, has gone back to true Buick red-white/blue color-shields. David Dunbar Buick can now stop rolling over in his grave LOL.
