--I think it was more likely a supplier issue. My mom and dads 300K was built in 1963 and it was smooth. So is the current 300K and it is a 1963 build.
I have seen differences between plants, having different suppliers but since Bob mentioned that all the 300’s were Detroit, that leaves that idea out.

Hi James. I believe it’s early product. My K built in 63 has it. The one built in 64 doesn’t. Greg

Were all the 300K’s built at the same plant?

James, evidently some K’s have this “herringbone” texture. We have a page on it here:
Chrysler 300 Club International
To all: lots of great information in our club website “tech department.” Consider checking this resource when questions arise.

Not that I would spend a $1000 on a center console…
But I noted one on eBay and looked at the photos. The aluminum looked like it had a dot texture in it. None of the five 300K’s I have owned had that.
Can anyone enlighten me on this?
James
