Give it a name ...

[Marv]

Hey guys I need you to help me out on this one

What is this called ?! I´ve seen it quite often in various cars,
so I figure that it is some non-brand-specific aftermarket accessoire.
For me it looks handy as my car doesn´t sport any storing space or cupholder,
but in order to buy it I´ve gotta put something into Google.

Thanks,
Marv

I also need one of these for my car, so let us know where you end up getting one.

 

[HWYCRZR]

Me too. That one even looks about the right color.

That looks nice. Is it anchored or attached somehow?

That would be the next question, if it's just sitting loose on the tunnel, it has to fit properly. I don't know if they are available custom fitted for Chrysler, Plymouth etc.. I think I just took this picture from an add of a 68 Newport that's been recently posted on this board.

There are most likely grip spikes on the bottom that dig into the carpet to hold it in place.

Any auto parts store should have them.

The ones I've seen at VatoZone and the like all have spike-grips on the bottom, as well as screw holes to permanently mount.

The one I had 20ish years ago just had little plastic spikes to half-grip it into the carpet. The 20lbs of loose change in the bucket area also helps with retention.

Console cup holder

I've been Googling this for months but haven't come across one as pictured in the first post. I'm also looking for some storage ( don't need the cupholders) on the tunnel but haven't found the right one yet....

Very popular in the 80's and early 90's before Mopar invented the cup-holder in the Mini-van!

The black one you can see in this photo I bought for the '84 Fifth Avenue I bought in '92. I also used it in my Cordoba, and now it is in my Newport - for 15 years.

For those looking north of the border here are a couple options.

Low Rider Console

quite expensive but a big choice of colors

Clutter Catcher Universal Floor & Seat Console

or the cheap plastic edition

 

[JC68vert300]

I've seen it as a "hump console" and on some truck accessory sites. Pickups had bench seats a lot longer. The last generation Impala was the last 6 passenger car with a bench seat.

or you can go old school - Rubber Queen 6250 | eBay Google search Rubber Queen Floor Console

When these "center consoles" first came out, they were anchored(?) with a small sand bag on each side. The humps were a bit taller and rounder back then. There were also some which were a "center armrest" on a bench seat, too.

In any event, a centralized container of "clutter" items. Some were fancier than others.d

Don't forget about the "bottle holders" that hung from the top of the door trim panel! In an era when people thought they were "cool" if they carried their coffee cup with them where ever they went! Takinig a sip every so often.
