I think Dr B Johnson mentions this, but I am out and cannot check right now. Would be worth buying this book if you are interested in SWB models

If you have a Dec. '65 car it's most likely a '66 and not a '65...

Here's the book... Hope this helps,

The push button did not change until YM 1969. The armrest changed slightly in YM 1968 due to extra padding. The window crank handles changed 3 times before YM 1969.
The handles are L to R 65/66, 67, and 68 and later.
Both the 65/66 and the 67 handles have a round cover (seen on the 67 handle) the 67 has a thin plastic insert (shown above it) and the 68 handle has a plastic cover that covers the whole chrome part of the handle that is missing in the photo.
By the way, I just had a 45 minute conversation with Dr Brett Johnson this afternoon. I always enjoy talking with him.

Regards

Jim

Not sure if this has been covered but today I noticed up under the dash the heater tubes where go into the trunk are surrounded by cardboard not rubber like later cars, I wonder when this changed?

One set of the back seat area luggage hold downs on my car are chrome, any chance this original or did someone just have normal ones chromed, again my car is #717
