This is a Catalina dash pad:
http://justdashes.blogspot.com/2011/...-dash-pad.html If 1962 cars were like 1961, the top of the dash (on cars so equipped) had a separate pad from this part. I've seen people simply use a 1/8" layer of foam glued to the dash top and then covered with a piece of naugahyde, it's mostly flat so stretching and fitting the naugahyde isn't terribly hard. If you can't find the exact color naugahyde locally SMS in Oregon can provide it.
