62 Dart Dash Pad

[matthon]

What the?

Removed emblem, it's embossed 'Dart' underneath in the Dart script.

No sign of a Dart emblem that was once installed, back of emblem is flat, had to drill out retaining clips, emblem never been removed as far as I can tell.

I've never seen a base Dart with a dash pad but maybe the embossed pad was for the base Dart and the 330 and 440 got the emblem?

I wonder if it identifies that it is for a Dart and a Plymouth dash pad is marked Fury? That is just a guess! I have Fury and Dodge dash pads but haven’t removed the emblem! I presume they were made in the same factory. I can change them 1962 Canadian Fury with 1963 US Dart dashpad.
63 Canadian Dodge has 1962 US dash gauge cluster. So maybe they are just trying to avoid the problem they had with Dodge tailgates on Fargo trucks!

1962 Fury does (in Canada)

After pulling three pads, I would agree that a base Dart could probably be ordered with a pad. Why not I guess.
With the emblem font I doubt it was for identification.

Never seen a base Dart with a dash pad.

Another 1 of 1 could be out there.
Get your checkbook ready.

It was a $13.50 option on all dart models. Standard on Polara 500's

This was the baseline pad starting point. Although rare I have a 'dart' pad. Most mid models came with a pad and hense the call out.
