Theoretically I think they all came with the chrome ring or were supposed to. They created an unexpected issue though of not staying where they were supposed to and many got removed.
It could have been by anyone including the original sales person, dealer or even the transporter guy unloading them off of the trailer.
Even if they stayed in place they would eventually, meaning soon, damage or wear through the station wagon paneling used for the woodgrain effect in the console, so simplest solution often being the best...off they came.
If you were lucky, the salesman gave it to you seperately with the keys, explained why they took it off and left it up to the new owner to decide WTF to do with it?
