Ashtrays were part of the "smoker's option" or some such :bs:
Although they
may have been "standard" in the '03 A & B's, ashtrays were not included in the '04's, at least mine wasn't. Of course you could buy, or order one for a princely sum.
If they were standard in the '03A's but part of the "decontented" program, somewhere along the way, I guess we ought to add that to the database as one of those mighty important points for Concourse Judging, sometime in the future.
Hmmmmm, he'll say, this '03A don't have none of them spring top ashtrays ...knock off 10 points, DING!
Then, of course, they'll start looking to see if it's the original Ford spring. :shake:
The decontent issue has been somewhat fuzzy, with some models having this or that, as the production line ran out of these and those.
Take the CLOCK, for instance.
I'm wondering if there's an '03B out there, somewhere with the dash clock
and the clock radio?
