Were these early production cars? The various steering wheel shroud mistake was as simple as the installer picking up the wrong part. To get all the Malibu trim, this would have to be scheduled before the car was ever built. Definitely not a minor mistake. The build sheet should show the details. Perhaps all the scheduling details hadn't been worked out before these cars were built.

Interesting.
