It is an American item for sure but I don't know if it is an American only item. That is the one item on that page my dad did not have on his '66. He had the walnut one instead.

Whether it was rare or not may not be as important as it is now probably rare in decent condition. I see the walnut one from time to time but usually in fair to poor condition. I can only imagine what a 35-plus year old leather one might look like.

One will turn up some day for you.
