I do remember the "L" on the end of the lug nuts so I checked and found the left handed lug nuts were on the driver's side of not only old Chrysler Corp cars but Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac also employed left-hand lug nuts on the driver-side of most cars they built in the 1955-1961 period. ^_^

You're correct of course but I seem to recall a small L stamped on the lug nuts. Anyway that funky monster was powered by a slant 6 and had a push button automatic. ^__^
