Default 68 key location - pic?

Hope I'm remembering this correctly - wasn't the 68 key in the dash as opposed to on the steering column? If anyone has a pic or a drawing, I'd love to see where it went.

Thanks,
Chris

Here's a picture of my 68 dash. You can see the key hole on the dash.

As you say "just one of the reasons".... there are many more that make the 68 the BEST C3.

Awesome! Thank you guys. I like the door pulls on the 68's too. Maybe when my 69 is polished up I'll trade for 68. Although I've heard parts are harder to come by, I haven't seen any problems myself (Eckler's is 68-friendly).

Thanks again!
Chris
