Okay this is a silly question.  Is the emblem opposite the clock on the dash supposed to illuminate at night?  Just noticed mine does not.

It does not illuminate. It's just a filler for the space where cruise would go if so equipped.

Did you verify the ignition 'key hole'  light in 1959? That's real easy to overlook. 🤦🏻�♂️

Tim,

As V63 suggests, the light for the ignition can be overlooked.

Here are some pics which may be helpful.

Have fun,

Nope I didn't notice any lighting around the ignition switch.  I assume its easy to get to?  Probably just a burnt out bulb.
