Out of curiosity; were the LAT options ever listed on the cars'
Monroney labels, if they even used such things back then? I'd guess that it
would add "value" to document that a car was delivered with exactly those
LAT options currently on the car. This is just for conversation's sake; the
Garage Queen ain't for sale, so I'm not really concerned with its "value". I
_do_ wish I knew if the LAT 2 and LAT 5-1/2 on the car when I bought it were
original.

Three of those bulged-face ("oval head"?) Phillips (or perhaps
Pozi-Drive, I cannot tell the difference) screws retaining the dash are
_huge_, perhaps about 1/2" across the face. The one at the extreme right is
smaller. If no one has the exact dimensions, let me know, I guess I could
unscrew one to get a thread measurement.
These were in a 'black' finish on my car, and somewhat corroded. So,
when I re-did the dash, I found the same thing in Stainless and buffed them
until they looked almost like chrome. 2-/2 years later, they still look
great. Non-stock, though.
