On the Tempest the decor group included: deluxe wheelcovers, concealed wipers, deluxe steering wheel (three spoke), decor moldings (wheel opening, drip moldings, window frame moldings), rear armrests and bright metal pedal trim. Wood dash trim was not included and not available. the group price was $89.52 on the 2 door post and $88.47 on the 4 dr sedan.
The Custom S came standard with the deluxe steering wheel and rear armrests so the decor group on this model consisted of deluxe wheelcovers, concealed wipers, decor moldings (wheel opening, drip moldings, window frame moldings) and bright metal pedal trim. Wood dash trim was not included and not available. The price varied from $49.50 to $81.10 depending on body style
On a LeMans (except wagon) the decor group cost $25.28 and included deluxe wheelcovers and woodgrain dash trim. Since the wheelcovers cost $21.06 that means you were paying $5.27 for the woodgrain.
On the GTO and LeMans Safari (wagon) there was no decor group option offered since it would only consist of the deluxe wheelcovers but you could order the wheelcovers as a stand alone option.
I suspect that the woodgrain showed up on some Custom S's because the hardtop coupe and convertibles used the exact same dash assembly as the GTO so sometimes for assembly convenience they installed a dash with the woodgrain on it.
