I’ve never seen a coat hook like this. Is there supposed to be a cover on it?

The coat hook looks like the one in my 67 hdtp. Could an early 68 build thing.

My 67 Satellite hdtp has fender mounted turn signals and the dash indicators work as well, but I have seen others mention missing bulbs and taped over holes in the cluster. Maybe a cost savings on lower priced models?

Speaking of turn signals, the ones on the dash don’t light up and I checked under the dash to find that tape is placed over the bulb holes. Is this normal with fender mounted turn signals?

My 68 Road Runner also had tape over intrument bulb holes and it had the deluxe trim package.

Great find! I wouldn't change a thing!

My turn signals work in the instrument panel as well as on fenders

My 66 HP2 had the dash lights gone and taped over from factory. I fixed that when I was in there... lol

The more I see, the more I like, very cool.

my GTX has the holes taped......also a third hole; just looked at it the other day

the tape obviously keep a bulb from being installed, but also keeps any light from shining through

it's cloth electrical tape

Could the taped holes have been a thing limited to early '68 models? My cars with operational instrument panel indicators, as well as fender mounted signals, were all built after April '68.

Very possible, Ma Mopar did strange things as we all know.

I'll get a pic, my cluster is in a box.......... I'm curious about the third hole

the third hole seems to go nowhere.......
like the circuit board is also used in another application; it would be above the right t/s indicator, directly opposite the high beam light

My 66 also had taped up turn signal lights.

Pete's gonna hate me for this.

Oh well..........

Over the factory attractive full wheel cover option?? Don't be silly.

 

[68BabyBlue]

I like it, that's what a '68 Satellite really looked like back in the day. I'd feel differently if it was a GTX, but it's not.

Been doing some cleaning and yesterday, I pulled the seats out to clean all the dandruff off the carpet and shampoo it. The seats need a good cleaning, and new seat foams are here. A nice broadcast sheet was found under the rear seat bottom which surprised me because all the ones I've previously found were tucked in the seat back. The only gem I found was a 1974 quarter underneath the right side seat track.
