What about the other side?
On the opposite side of the dash, in the same location as the driver's side pushbutton, is a circular indentation. Was this used for anything, or is it simply cosmetic?

I think it was where there was a **** to pull the side floor vent open on the 64 and below ones. I guess they just used the same stampings to make the 65-66. As far as the pushbutton goes mine was missing and they were expensive. I took a chance at my local NAPA and had them to get me a 56 starter button that goes in the dash. It was six bucks and fit perfectly.

I agree with Willie, prior fresh air vent on passenger side.
I don't use mine, but did install delay whiper and have the ability to push that button in to activate the wash as well.

Mine activates the Secret Squirrel Bad Guy Detecto-Computer, throwing my Sweet Southern Comfort into highly armed defensive mode, a lean mean street fighting machine. Anti-tank mines in the taillights (dropped against tailgaters), side mounted swiveled .50s in the rear quarter panels and a 106 recoilless in the nose.
Wiper squirts button, indeed. How droll.

I forgot to add if you are not going with all original and want a good tank and washer motor combo check out the early 70s model cars. I got one off of about a 74 Ford, maybe LTD. It mounted perfect on the side and I got it for a buck at my local scrapyard before the car got crushed. Many of the 70-76 Fords had a nice tank.
