67coupedeville Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Any chance you would be able to post a pic of what you've got? I'll look at mine dash here right away and see what I can see that resembles that. Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimD Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Looks like something to conduct light from point A to point B?? Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaddyChris Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 hey, i have a 68 dash in my 67 and had it all apart numerous times. I am sorry but I do not recongnize that piece. Chris Christopher Petro 94 sts 67 coupe de Ville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadi-Fatty Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Chris, You have taken your dash apart and you haven't seen this part when it was in pieces?? If this is so, I don't know what to say...I wonder where the hell it came from then... In regards to Jim, I also thought it might conduct light so I tryed to find anything on or in my dash that might conduct light.....but to no avail.... thanks alot guys, anymore information would be great. Myles ps Is the consensus here that it doesn't belong in or on my 68 dash?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaddyChris Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 well, when I say "take apart" i mean i've had the dash in and out of the car a few times. I never took apart any of the brackets or anything like that...it always remained in 1 piece. But if it was something for lighting I think i would definately recongnize it. I wouldn't worry about it, but keep it just in case. Chris Christopher Petro 94 sts 67 coupe de Ville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh50 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 You might want to check out this site: http://www.cadillaclasalleclub.org/ They focus on the "old school" Caddy's. On the left hand side of the homepage, there is a link for a message forum about halfway down the page. BTW the 68 Coupe is my favorite old Caddy.

67coupedeville Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Sorry man, I looked everywhere on mine and in my service manual, I didn't see anything like that anywhere. But hold on to it, it may jog your memory in a couple weeks . Post some pics of your car too, I'd love to see some. Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadi-Fatty Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I GOT THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a Bob Hoffman (AKA the cadi-dadi) has indicated in a different forum that indeed it does go in my 68 dash and it (quote) goes behind & above the speedometer needle & distributes lite evenly back there (unquote) THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE INFORMATION FOR THE OTHER FORUM!!!!! and again, thanks for taking the time to think about my question... (maybe I'll post some pics of the car when I get a chance!!) MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
