No, Chevy didn't use up trim pieces from an earlier year. Which trim pieces 
are you talking about? The front 'grill' piece on a '63 is a solid straight 
aluminum strip about 3' long. The '62 is two short castings.
Tail light lenes are different; the rest of the '62-63 car is similar. I'm 
sure I've left something or two out; others will chime in and fill in the 
blanks.
Anything could have happened in the last 50 years, also.
Even the VIN and title could have changed...

I just made the leap and picked up my first Vair a running red monza 900 
convertable. I am in the process of replacing springs, struts and brakes, 
and all the parts that leak to make sure its road worthy. My question The 
car Vin is for a 63 and the trim is 62. Would it be normal for chevy to 
extend a trim package into the next year to finish out stock. or is it more 
likly the cars front end was replaced and the wrong trim package added?
