Dave, I don't know much about the Amco consoles, but the 4As all had ashtrays
too, in the middle of the wood dash instead of on top as on the 6 cylinder
cars. It was made of Bakelite and had a tendency to fall out and eventually
get lost, leaving an unsightly hole in the dash. Years ago you couldn't get a
reproduction and had to scrounge to find a used one. Not sure if you can get
them new now.
