This wouldn't be one of those cases where Year One sold NOS Chrysler stuff would it?

If it were a NOS pad, I would expect it would not have a place for model above the glove box, but just flat across.



A friend bought one of the last NOS dash pads from Chrysler in about 1981, and had to wait about three weeks for it to arrive from wherever it was found. As mentioned, there was no lettering or recessed area for a decal, but instead the grain texture continued across the area... Later I was told by a parts manager at a dealership that they had been serviced that way since at least the mid 1970s.

A few years later, I lucked across one in a newspaper Ad and bought it, but it was a NOS A/C pad. As with the pad a friend ordered, no lettering or recess...
