The "Chrome Dash AC Vent Ball" is a distinctive component found in vehicles manufactured between 1965 and 1977, particularly those equipped with factory air conditioning systems. Here are some key characteristics and details about this part:

  1. Design: The vent ball typically consists of a small spherical knob or lever made of chrome-plated metal. It often features grooves or ridges around its circumference to facilitate grip and manipulation.

  2. Functionality: The primary function of the vent ball is to allow occupants to control the direction and intensity of airflow from the vehicle's air conditioning system.

  4. Chrome Finish: The chrome-plated finish of the vent ball adds a stylish and luxurious touch to the vehicle's interior. During the mid-20th century, chrome accents were a popular design feature in automotive interiors, reflecting the era's aesthetic preferences and design trends.

  5. Compatibility: This vent ball is specifically designed for use in vehicles equipped with factory-installed air conditioning systems. It is engineered to integrate seamlessly into the vehicle's interior and HVAC system, ensuring proper functionality and airflow control.

  6. Collectibility: Due to their association with classic cars from the 1965-1977 era and their distinctive design, chrome dash AC vent balls have become sought-after items among automotive enthusiasts and collectors. They are often used in the restoration of vintage vehicles to maintain authenticity and period-correctness.
