Here are two things I have not seen before.
Both front doors have these clips. You can position the clip to hold the door light switch in the off position.
Although well done, this is likely an addition from a previous owner.

In the dark recess of the instrument panel over the clock, there is this red and this green jewel light.
I have not investigated the function or the installation (yet).

The wheel covers on the C have red centers and silver on the outer rectangles.
The red is Chrysler color C-7415-E, "Flag Red", a bright gloss enamel.
Most people use Buick red engine paint since Flag Red is obsolete.



The wheel covers on this car had been redone but the job was lacking.



Painting the center sections is similar to painting the EFGHJ wheel covers although on the C the center cone is not removable. The first step is to remove the old paint. Paint remover works well. The surface must be clean or the new paint will fisheye. Masking the outer edge is critical to good results. Light coats of paint on a warm wheelcover will give you fast drying and good coverage.
