Burlwood Dash for 1969
Short answer: Burlwood trim was used on all 1968–69 consoles, all 1968 dash center plates, and the 1969 Custom-trim dash only. So a 1969 Standard-trim car with a console has a burlwood console but a non-wood dash.
The 1969 sales brochure called that dash “camera-case grain” — black within the chromed border, matching the interior color outside it. Black-grained consoles you may have seen are 1967 Firebird/Camaro (it’s what’s under a 1968–69 burlwood applique). In 1967 the dash center plate had a straight-grain wood-like finish and the console had no wood.
