I thought that this was pretty cool. The 1963 260 V-8 cars came with an automatic choke and had a little blanking plate to cover the manual choke that came with the six cylinder motors. But my V-8 car car had a knob in the choke position. (The picture shows a knob in the choke location and an MP3 payer plugged into the regular cigarette lighter socket.)

When I first saw it I wondered if the car had might have originally been a six cylinder, but ... the left-side knob was an additional cigarette lighter! My car has two cigarette lighters, his and hers. I wonder if that might have been a dealer-suggested option back in the day, or if it was something that a past owner had come up with on his own. Either way, it was a clever option to add in place of an otherwise useless choke blanking plate.
