Because Royales didn't debut 'til 1975?

Having said that I saw a 78 coach with a 73 TZE number in Buford, GA
once......

Happy New Year!

I'll bite..... here is why I think it is a '73
1- Large door handle patch used on first 1800 '73s
2- First series side windows (can see screens & latch for front section opening).
3- Don't see standard roof vent for refer. (vents were retrofit for '73)
4- Royale paint & stripes are not unknown on '73s. Think I have probably seen 3 of them.

My 78 did not have a roof vent just upper and lower louvers because it was an all electric refer. Did they offer that in 73?
