There was NO factory lighter. There is none in the microfilm 
anywhere. All of these were installed by dealers in whatever location 
was convenient. This usually meant one of the 2 places just to the 
left of the ash tray. 

In the early cars the wiper switch was above and a blank space was 
below, so the dealer just drilled a large hole. In the later years 
there was a plastic plug in a hole there which was meant for the 
optional gasoline heater, so the dealers would just enlarge that 
hole.

If you had the gasoline heater, then I suppose the mechanic had to 
get creative.
