Since we have a 69 thread going, maybe we need one also for 1970

1970 had the introduction of the button release for the lid, sometime during the model year.
1970 did not have the slots for the seatbelts.
1970 did not have a cigar lighter.

Couple more pictures of details.

Blue standard interior 70 console. Not an easy one to locate if you need one

Were these painted originally or molded in the color?

Main body and insert were molded in the color. Metal sections were painted or plated

For accuracy, it should be stated that the blue console above has an automatic transmission insert. 3 and 4 speed manuals would be molded differently.
