center console/Arm Rest

[Greinert]

Hi all

I let my dad drive my corvair today, he did not crash it thank god, but I sitting on the passenger side I was not as comfortable as I wished mainly because I did not I have a center arm rest or center console of any sort, it doesn't bother me when I drive because I have by hand on the wheel, does any body have any suggestions of center consoles or have the same issue where they could offer their advice.

Our Corvair venders have a few styles available. You could also build one.

BRAD, NONE OF THOSE GIVE YOU AN ARM REST - I HAVE THE SECOND ONE

I understand that the second one doesn't really provide an armrest, but the 1st and 3rd choices do, I think...





More possibilities...

As it turns out, earlies do not have enough room between the buckets for a console that goes between them, only lates have enough room. Fortunatly you have a late.

Somehow I don't think that would be enough reason for you to abandon the Caveman Corvair crowd!
