Has anyone ever tried to cut holes for the original ashtrays into replacement rear arm rests? I am thinking it will destroy the new ones.

I dont think that would work well.
If you remove the ashtray and look inside you should see a metal structure to support it. Because the repop armrests don't have this or the "moulded" lip around the opening, I decided to save my originals even though they were not perfect. Just one mans opinion.
Sparky, I hear where you are coming from, I actually like the ashtrays too, its definitely the throwback vintage look. Gone are the days just like NASCARs Winston cup.
Nowadays most people I know dont even smoke indoors, let alone use ashtrays.
Hell, I have 4 in mine, the front dash, center console and 2 rear armrests.
Glad they are there.

you also have a considerable size difference between old and new. You would be better finding NOS or having the old armrests rebuilt, It would be pricey but could be done

I thought they were different sizes also from looking at the photo. I put them side by side and they are the same size.

I guess I will just live with my backseat passengers tapping their cigarettes out the windows.
Lol!
Why does that one on the left look like a 67 style (1 year only )compared to the right one ?
Couldn't you buy a set with the ash trays from a member here I'm sure someone has to have some for sale?
Personally, I don't allow smoking in any of my cars.
