I'm sure this has been asked B4, but does anyone know where I can get a re-pop of the center console ash tray? It appears I'm not alone, nearly every e-body I've seen has is missing it's ash tray as well.

If your car is a 1970 it didn't come with a center console ashtray. The space at the back of the console is for the front seat belt buckles. 71-on had an ashtray as in photograph.

Thanks for clearing that up. And all this time I thought I was missing something! Duh....I guess that's why all the other '70's are "missing" their's as well. Boy, am I a dope!:oops:

You are not alone, if that makes you any happier. I believed the same thing for a number of years. That ugly hole (excuse me..) simply gives the impression that something is missing.... (or is it just a bad excuse....? :s023: )

Your right Christer, and even though the "hole" is supposed to be for the seat belt buckles, they don't really fit in there very well! :?
And while we are on the subject of interior design, how on earth is the front passenger supposed to hang on? When I take a right-hand corner at speed, I normally end up wearing my passenger! :mrgreen:

Hey that might not always be a bad thing. That's how I got my first squeeze from my wife when we were dating! :lol:
