Leaf pattern side ornamentation

[hemichrysler]

My 1973 New Yorker Brougham has an intricate, beautiful, leaf/vine pattern along the side ornamentation. I believe this is the swage line, but not certain on that teminology.

Is this leaf pattern rare or unusual, or was it standard upon Broughams?

Have you seen it before on any other years?

Any information much appreciated!

I also have a 1975 Lincoln Continental Town Car with a similar effect upon the swage line, but no where near as detailed or intricate as the Chrysler. I believe that this leaf pattern is peculiar to the mid-70s. It doesn't seem to appear in either the early or the late 70s.
