All I can say about the glove box door is it came to me years ago with the story of being removed early on to put a radio in the car .
It has lived in a dresser drawer as long as I have had it .
Pics make it look a little better than in person .
The knob is not a solid color and does not appear to be new .
That said over the years I have had other doors that had good graining inside but not outside like this one .
Also have had dashes and garnish mouldings that had good graining on edges that matches this .
Lastly I am NOT TRYING to sell this .
Just posted it for reference .
