knob schemes . One chrome similar to this.... black as further below and none(the hole covered ?)

Have been asked about what the correct factory oem 1969 cig. lighter was ...
Please help out as a guy is currently restoring his car and wants it as factory correct as possible ...

Quote from Jim McKee:
Hi Bob,
The cigarette lighter knob in my original high serial number SC/Rambler looks like the pictures and it matches the rest of the dash knobs ( lights and windshield wipers ) which are also black.

The cigarette lighter knob in my original 68 AMX is chrome to match the chrome radio knobs.
Regards, Jim

Bill Strobel reports that his are chrome on his SC/R

Mike Lewis quote here :
"Bob,
Some of the SC/RAMBLERS had Cig. lighters due to errors on the assembley line and the others had them installed by the dealers (dealer offered option). I've had SC/RAMBLERS w/o lighters. I would bet that the chrome lighters were the dealer installed. Later, Mike

Thanks for this guys , I know alot of the parts on the B scheme I refer to are the real items .
And its great to be able to be assured the info and pictures that goes into "our" blog is legit ...
Bob
