    This is a picture of the interior of the blue '64 Daytona with the sunroof. There is a toggle switch on the left side of the dash next to the headlamp switch. What is this switch for?

    Its not original so it could be for anything. Only Wagonaires with the power tail gate window used a toggle switch in this location.

      Thanks Chris! I was looking at that and hoping it was factory for a fog light switch. I found a nicely finish toggle switch that will work along with a nice looking hazard switch.

          "Ejector seat." Now that is truly funny!

              I thought that was the switch to spray oil out the back when the bad guys are gaining on you.

                On a 66 there is a flasher light there so you know if you left the emergency brake engaged....you could find one of those and fill the spot in.

                  When you press it a smoke screen forms behind the car. It was standard on full package R series cars.

                    It is almost for sure that when the restoration was done, a nicer dash was installed from a Wagonaire.

                    That is quite unusual, a Daytona Hardtop, but no Power Shift, Automatic, Four Speed or 3 Speed Overdrive.

                        It's for when cops with lark marshals were chasing you. This option wasn't availible on the marshal. Everyone knows the bad guys drive studes
