Greg is correct. My research shows that the wood veneered dash became
standard equipment (not an option) in the Spring of '64. I ordered my car in
Jan '64 and when I picked it up in England in June '64 it had the wood dash
already installed. My car came off the line on May 15 '64. The wood dash is
plywood with a Mahogany veneer and is held in place by 5 chrome headed screws.
