1983, that's when this brochure was published:

Exactly. The Ghia had different door cards with fabric higher up the door, leaving a relatively narrow strip for the wood at the top. Lower trim levels had a wider and more curved band of vinyl (?) at the top which someone has attached the narrower Ghia wood trim to. Brochure link

I'm intrigued. Was an entire Sentinel pulled from a river bed? Or just that piece and by some miracle someone knew what it was?
