Can anyone post a picture of a OE factory installed cigarette lighter for a 1970 Challenger. I think it should have a metal all chromed knob, but I have seen different knob designs. The one that came in my car has a metal chrome knob with its center painted black. Pretty sure it is not correct. Thanks
Here's mine. All chrome.
Nice! A commonly missing part.
Here's what's in my 1970 Barracuda. I think it's original, if not, can someone please tell me. Not that it matters, just for future reference.
Again both are similar but different?
headejm looks to have the correct one.

The first photo is generally considered the accepted norm for e-bodies, some will even argue it exclusively, but there are those that report having the knurled knob shown in the 2nd post. Some have speculated the knurled knob may have been for certain models, or perhaps different suppliers. Considering there is but one PN for knobs in 1970 & 71 (2290188, all models) with cases of both smooth and knurled being found in original owner cars, it appears to support the idea that more than one supplier may have been used.
In my opinion, either is acceptable
saw this thread & wondered :thinking: if or what was in my mid-July 1970 Hamtramck built '70 Challenger R/T 96K mile project
ashtray still full of butts ( can I get these checked for DNA & find a former owner ?? ) & this :takepicture:
appears to be the same as pictured by

My 73 has the knurled knob for what it's worth.

73 parts book shows the same part number for the knob as 70-71.
Still tends to support the multiple source of supply theory, or that Chrysler changed a part and kept the same number.
