Looks like they made the 67 housing,not the 66.

Mike —I hoped that you might comment. We see that the headlight switch opening is the 67 style and we think that the speaker grid should be chrome. Do you agree and can you comments on the particulars of what is not correct?

Oldsmaniac—whether exactly correct or not, the PPI reproduction would be a big step up for your car. Most people are not going to know the dash changes made in the 67 models relative to a 66.

For Sure! TKs and mine is a 67.

I agree the speaker grid should be chrome. It's hard to tell in the PP ad but it looks painted. The black grooved area @ the bottom doesn't look right either. If the dash is anything like the 3X2 intake it will leave a lot to be desired.
