Also, a number of NYC postwar glazed red or white brick residential towers are actually rebuilt prewars. The prewar look was extremely unfashionable in the 1950's and 60's.
The Upper East Side, in particular, has a bunch of these. Usually they were stripped down to steel and floors were added, so they're more or less postwar except for the original ceiling heights and proportions.
But now that prewars are more desirable, they're marketed as prewars again.
