Agreed, I have had some conversations with some guys selling these burl wood inserts for a 69. Doesn't make sense, the grain doesn't match the console or door panels on a deluxe interior car. I have seen a bunch of cars with the lower part of the bezel painted black. Still can't figure out why. My car is a standard interior car with a wood grain dash, 150 mph speedo, and wood grain console, formula s car. Thanks for the replies so far.
