Not to hijack this thread but 62Maxwagon are you saying the difference in the texture is by year and not by make? Speaking strictly the higher end models like Sport Fury and Polara 500 I thought the differnce was between Dodge and Plymouth. I was looking at a bunch of consoles last week and noticed the difference in texture and that is what he told me. Guess I will have to wait until I get home to check the Plymouths I have.
