What year(s) did they put an upholstered cushion or padded armrest on the lid that is hinged at the back?
Thanks Jer but I got my answer. The one in question is for ‘66-‘68 Polara & ‘67 Charger.'60+'61+'62 300s for sure Matt. Not sure about the Late '50s? It's a memory thing Pal and it ain't the first thing that stops working the way we'd like it to, lol

Nope, hinged at the back.Yup, side opener.
The back underside of the padded piece also has an upward indentation in it which allows for the extra clearance. There’s a single spring wire that serves as the hinge pin so when you hit the button (just in front of the lid) it springs up in the front. Then you lift it the rest of the way open.OK, those pics really edum'cate me on how they open - I can see how much the rear hinge is raised up to permit the lid to clear what's behind it.
I’ve seen one in a 68 Monaco 500 but it was a Canadian car so... maybe?From the pics in the Dealer data books it appears that the padded armrest stopped in 67...is there consensus?
