I remember owning a 73 sunroof sedan. Did my car not exists, Ben? Actually
71 and 72 Super Sedans had relatively flat windshields but not sure if the
fenders were different.

shek it out http://1302super.com/nonflash_index.html

73 had the first curved windshields and midway through the year they changed
from the 1302 strut to the 1303 type. I owned a 73 1302 type, curved shield
and old linkage style.

Anyway, you obviously picked up a 74 standard bug fender rather than a 74
super bug fender.
