I think it was part of the décor package.

I think this is the code for the décor package.

If I’m not mistaken, it was standard on all hardtops in ‘68. The “Satellite” version was added mid year.

No FT code for Decor Group, but if the Satellite-level interior is on the FT it would have to be a Decor car.
'68 HTs (RM23) were all Decor, for Coupes (RM21) it was optional starting when the HTs were introduced mid-model-year.

Hi,Thanks for the information,trim is D4S it is a post car,Date code is 922,would that be September 68?

Sep 22, 1967 would be the SPD. D4S is the base silver & black interior, so that and the SPD mean it can't be a Decor car.
My Hemi car was a D4S, SPD 930, and current '68 is D4B (blue) SPD 212.
G'day !

My 2 cents: Decor package added the finish panel on a 1968 Road Runner. Standard on Satellite, optional on Belvedere.
Sport Satellites and GTX got the "pot metal" chromed finish panel. Check out some factory brochures, data book, parts book, and service manual.

Hemi car, no décor package

D4S interior from my car. Note Reed grain inserts, correct for the '68s; '69s used a different grain with 3 pleats in the inserts. Fun fact: Legendary tooled up their Reed covers from this car; I sent them its original covers. Also note door panels are solid silver, not 2-tone, and black armrest bases, front only. 4-speeds got black carpet, AT cars got color-keyed rubber mats (had one of those, too).
