Or it got t-boned so hard the steering wheel was moved over.

To straight and well aligned with the dashboard to have been moved that far. And the roof line looks pretty straight. I think had it been t-boned hard enough to move the steering column all the way across the passenger compartment that the top of the car would have been severely wrinkled.

JMHO.

Actually it's from a book, In 1977, photographers Larry Sultan (USA) and Mike Mandel (USA) published a book of photographs entitled Evidence. Accompanied by an exhibition in the same year at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this project was the culmination of a three-year search through the files and archives of over one hundred American government agencies, educational institutions, and corporations, such as the Bechtel Corporation, General Atomic Company, Jet Propulsion Laboratories, the San Jose Police Department and the United States Department of the Interior.
The original pictures Sultan and Mandel collected were made as documents and objective records of activities and situations: the scenes of crimes, aeronautical engineering tests, industrial experiments, among other subjects. Sifting through some two million images, Mandel and Sultan assembled a careful sequence of 59 pictures.

Evidence is, as the artists stated back in the 1970s, "a poetic exploration upon the restructuring of imagery." Pictures that once served a functional purpose in the world are, in this exhibition, stripped of their explanatory captions and institutional contexts, carefully sequenced, and presented as expressive artefacts. In this new setting, the images testify to cryptic and dubious rituals, to a culture of dehumanising, ambiguous institutional values, to mid-century industry regarded as a religion.
Although the exhibition carefully articulates the reading of the photographs in terms of their "documentary" origins, the photographs are reproduced without captions identifying specific images or their sources. The photographs here serve as answers to questions long ago abandoned. Faced with a world of mysterious events and unfathomable activities, we are provided with only the sequential narrative of the book and are actively required to participate in creating its meaning.

Look at the garnish molding above the rocker and the stainless passenger window surround, somebody went through that window!

It doesn't look to me like the steering wheel is far enough to the right to be a right-side driver. Did those t-birds have the swing away steering column? Also, the sill plate appears to be buckled, which would go along with being t-boned.

Nope, first year for the swing away was 61, an option, became standard 62 - 66.
