This superbly-setup page shows many of them:

Here are a few of the rarer ones from my favorite era:

1956-1961: HiWay HiFi record-player (the following web-page is 
incorrect on the model-years... From 1956-58 they were 16-2/3 RPM, 
built by Columbia. From 1959 through 1961 they were 45-rpm, and built 
by RCA or ARC. Strictly speaking, all Mopars except Imperials had them 
as an option for 1961):

1959-1961: Swivel front seats

1959 LeBaron: One thick ring (standard) or TWO, thinner rings (from 
1957-58 Imperials, to be extra luxurious at extra cost) around the 
taillights. "Honey, should we pay the extra cost for the extra ring?"

1959-1960: Mirror-Matic (automatically dimming rear-view mirror):
