Additional Notes

The Chevrolet Chevy II uses two bulb types for the ash tray across its 1962-1968 model years: the 1445 and the 53.
Both the 1445 and 53 are ANSI-standard bulbs rated for the US and Canadian markets, each operating at 12 volts and 2 watts with a single filament.
Both bulb types share the BA9s base, a miniature bayonet fitting commonly found in low-wattage indicator and courtesy lighting applications.
The Chevrolet Chevy II (1964-1968) uses the 1445 bulb for the ash tray position.
The 53 bulb is specified for the 1962-1963 model years in the same ash tray position.
Although the 1445 and 53 share identical electrical ratings and base type, they carry distinct ANSI designations, which indicates a physical or dimensional difference that affects direct interchangeability between the two.
