Mike, Did you see my supremely dorky dashboard post from 2 am last night? Two pod dashes used sporadically until 5284 according to the Ford parts book...and the registry confirms they were used regularly through at least April of '73....

PNW can inspect this car more closely if anybody on the list is interested. It's a two-pod car, but was built 11/72 according to the Marti, and DeTomaso stamped it as 1/73. I had thought all of the two-pods had run their course before the "73" model year. VIN is 4891, so has to be near the switch to single-pod.
Very nice from the looks.

While the later, L dash was phased-in in early 1973 (Jan ?), in March a growing number of cars have been identified as having received the early dash, even a couple of April cars received the early dash.
