The rather nice extensions from the dash to the doors were carried over from the B16 to the B18 in 1962 but were dropped later that year. I think it was a case of Volvo just using them up and changing when they ran out. I think they ran out before the start of the next model year. A pity as they are very neat. Beware if you try and retrofit them as the ends of the dash cover are different from the later ones. The proper ones are shaped to transition to the door trims. These aren't available as repros. Early dash tops last a lot better than later ones as the later ones are made in a different way.
