1968 Ash Trays (again!)

[KurtS]

Defining what we want is definitely part of the problem....

Just to be clear, we're looking for data from blue, red, and gold interiors without woodgrain ashtrays. Data from black dash/interior cars is not relevant.
Thanks folks

Jim, Any chance you have a photo of the dash behind the ash tray with the woodgrain surround on?

[KurtS]

Thanks Jim, that was exactly what we are looking for.

[169INDY]

Nope the prior Owner took this in 2004 when he got the car from His uncle whom had it stored under a trap in a car-port since 1979.

My car is close to this one as well. 1968, LOS, 01C build date, 722 Gold interior. Wood grained instrument panel but smooth black ash tray. Gold interior. The pictures I had of it from early in 1987 before I changed it to a black interior got lost long ago so no images of that combo to share. Do you blame me for wanting to ditch a "custom" brown diamond tuck and shag carpet interior in a hurry?

[MO]

No, but you are guilty of not going back to Gold. But I get it, it's easier sometimes.

[David K]

What kind of data? Interior is blue/ashtray is black/11E

[cook_dw]

That's one.  Is it painted black around the opening like the gold dash I posted above?  Also is the ashtray smooth or pebble?  Am I correct in assuming this is born with and not restored?

[David K]

Yes, born with/the rest I'll check tomorrow or s

[David K]

Went through the restoration archives...March 1994. Clearly the black painted circle. Ashtray is smooth black..but I'll very the next chance I get. 11E

David I don't see an ashtray in those pics?

[David K]

Pretty sure it was on the carpet on the floor board.

I am thinking the dash area of the ashtray being painted black on a colored I dash is part of the data they are looking for.  Sometimes the researcher are vague about what they are looking for in order to not taint the data.

So that leaves me wondering if colored ashtray cars had colored dash in that area or black. I assumed color ashtrays would have colored dash area, but maybe not?
