    I have wanted to try a cruiser console as well, but not willing to outlay the cash to find out. Then I got a swingin deal on a Granada console. Alas, no cupholders though! :)

    DM-
    I was going to tell you about Tims, but he beat me to it.
    You already have a '71-'73 Console-that's what his is.

    Tomm- Those seats are out of a '93 Probe. They are kind of a tight fit, but all in all , not too hard to get 'em to work in my pre-cat converter '72.

    Craig-- Not sure if the console would fit between LDO seats... I could measure the width of the console and let ya know if ya want..

    Ken(PART-TIME), I should mention that you car was the biggest inspiration for both the yellow and black exterior color scheme and the Probe seats [​IMG]

    I believe this is the Humphugger that is advertised in the mags..I bought it from Mustangs Unlimited last Spring....it fits very well between the Probe seats.
    What was also cool is that there was enough empty space between the cupholders and the armrest that I was able to add the power mirror and power window controls there. That required carefully removing the staples from the bottom, as well as pulling out the plastic cupholders and then peeling back the vinyl so I could cut a hole for the control panel(which came from a Lincoln Mark VII):

    Anyway...not sure anyone else will use it for that purpose..;)
