[Vwdiesel] Ashtray

[Dave Cook]

Can someone please send me a pic of theirs?  

What I am imagining from the descriptions is what I have, but the thing doesn't stay closed...  So I think I must actually be thinking of something different than what you all are saying!

It is an '81, build Dec 1980.  It folds down to reveal the lighter, etc.
