NYer with floor console

[Mark McDonald <tomswift@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, that is my impression as well.  I went to his website and I 
think it would be $25 to ask him this question (this is his business), 
and I'm not sure he even has the answer.

The owner of the car claims there is a "black book" on Chrysler which 
has this info, and that it is called the 300 trim package.  However, 
it's not called that in the sales brochure for either '68 or '69.  (It 
was definitely available in '68, and possibly '67, on the NYer.)

I just think it's unlikely that only 2 cars were ordered like this.  If 
that was the case I don't think this option would be continued into 
1970, and my '70 has it.
