03D NOR

I have an OE 68 console, 11A NOR. I had to replace the lid, but there wasn't any flocking.
-
No Lid (underside) Flocking on my 1968 LOS 12D Z28 Red Int.
-
I never knew that - always assumed 68 and 69 were the same!

They were. P/N 3919069, and the underside of the console lid wasn't flocked. Only the inside of the console itself (the storage area). Some of the repop lids have the flocking but that's not the way they originally came from the factory.

Me too, I never knew lids were flocked! :D

Not true. All 69 lids are flocked. My SS396 still has its original lid - flocked.
-
A commonly damaged (replaced) part. I thought the replacements were not flocked and had to be done in the field. Been a long time but maybe someone else here remembers?

Time for a new research topic!

Sorry Kurt but I guess wasn't very clear in my reply. What I meant was that no 68's came from the factory with flocking. The subject line was about 1968 lids/doors and that's what I was referring to.

My next question would be was there a possible transition period or over lap of the lids.?

That I don't know. We would need to have folks with very late 68's and/or very early 69's (and original console doors) to chime in. My current 68 is a 05D and it has no flocking. I also used to own a late June 68 (I believe it was either 06C or 06D) and it didn't have flocking either, but I can't say for sure about July, 68 cars.

Charley’s 69 would be a good start.

68 O7E …. Flocked

I will have to check Skip’s 07D 68Z. Our original lid was not flocked (01B).
-
Skip double checked and sent a picture of his 68Z 07D does have door flocking.
-
So far, here's what we have for 1968:
06C (or 06D) - LA - no flocking
07D - NOR - flocking
07E - NOR - flocking
Ed
-
Skips definitely NOR and I believe Steves is as well.
-
Thank you sir. I just edited the above to add that info. Let's get more late cars!
Ed
-
Yes, Norwood build.

Not that it helps but just wanted to tie my comment back with Charley's reply on his sYc thread. Flocked which we assumed it would be.
