Re: 1968 Glove box lid - late design plate to shut off light
I just looked at my July 18 built 68 coupe. It does not have that plate. The cover is black Masonite or whatever they call it. The car is pretty original but I suppose it could have been changed.
Whats interesting is is there is a note from the original owner that says he “went through two batteries in the first three weeks” and there is a warranty replacement for the battery in the book when the car had less than 100 miles. I guess the light was on. To be honest, I don’t know if the light is still hooked up. I have the battery out of the car for storage now but if it ever warms up, I’ll check it.
