I took one of my wifes fingernail paint bottles with the brush, cleaned out the nail polish and filled it with left over paint from my truck, now when I get a nick I can touch it up on the spot. I keep it in the ash tray so if it should leak it wont leave the ash tray

I am thinking about putting one of those accessory power plugs in there for charging the cell phone etc. Also seems like a nice spot for the truck registration and insurance card.

Mid Fifty sells a cupholder that slides into the ashtray slot and holds two drinks. Comes right out for shows, if so inclined. (Only for '56.)

The ash tray in the '49 holds the remote control for the gate, a flashlight, fingernail file, spare change and ?????? I don't know what else may be in the one on the '49. I think there is a gate remote in the '56.
