My 1971 Cuda did not come with the wood grain on the panels, November 1970 built. I started looking at every Cuda built in 1970 and 1971 that would have the leather interior and to see if it also had the wood grain on panels. I talked to a lot of people about this same subject and ended up buying the wood grain trim for the panels because most would say it should have them. Then I started coming across a few more that never came from the factory with the wood grain on the panels.I do not think there is an answer to this. Did Chrysler run out of panels and just toss the ordinary Cuda panels with no wood grain in my car. Did a door line worker put the wrong panels on the door and the car made it past the inspectors and never had them changed to the wood grain panels. Why would all four make it into my car? Why not just the backs or the fronts.I believe they would be put on the car in different areas in the plant, one being the Door line and one being the Main line. I guess you would have to be there on November 5th, 1970 to really know what happened.

Seat belt light on dash is more likely for C15 deluxe seat belts

A01 does not include it

I don't recall if a convertible Gran Coupe gets the seatbelt light w/o deluxe belts...

More clarification:
- Car is a BS27N0B, not a Gran Coupe rag
- Car doesn't have C15
- Car does have PRXW and A01:

P37 R11 Y07 EN1
M88 M91 N41 N42 N85
G33 J45 J54 L31 M25 M31
V3W A01 A62 C16 C55 G31
FC7 PRXW 000 115 C09995
E63 D21 BS27 N0B 23****

Maybe the reverse light will be another mystery like the lack of door panel woodgrain

Sweet car! And looks like it was originally ordered for Canada too!

Do you have both the reverse light on the dash and the seatbelt light, or just the seatbelt light?

The 340 auto convertible that I mentioned is earlier than yours and did not have the woodgrain either.

Mine's a 70 with black leather interior and no woodgrain, for what that may be worth.
