[Chrysler300] 300K vs 300F console dash opening

[John <spiers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Slightly off the F subject, I believe that the 300J & 300K, as well as the console-equipped 1963 and 1964 300 Sport models, used a dash with the original ashtray opening, through which wiring was passed to the console.

          It is the ashtray for the non-300 Chryslers. The dash used is the stock dash
from the other Chryslers and modified for the 300 letter car. Since the
ashtray in the 300F was in the console over the trans hump, it was not
needed in the dash and had to be filled in to look right. The '61 is the
same way, and I believe the '62 as well. 

I can still see the factory sanding marks in the fill plate on mine, as my
dash has never been repainted.

Took the dash out of the car today for painting and general cleaning up. On
the lower dash directly below the radio there was a door that had been
welded shut and the seams were filled and painted. Once the dash was out
and we looked at the backside the opening and door looked original and not
cut in. I looked at a load of interior pics on the net and they were no
help. Anybody know what this might have been? Thanks in advance
