    Wow, thanks!! That looks great in there! Thanks a bunch. It seems to fit the transmission tunnel pretty well - does it? Looks very nice!

    Hey Maverick Man, I believe they are sun gauges. The parking brake is a foot operated one. They switched to that set up in 76.

    ...it fits the hump pretty snug. No gaps that I can find.
    The only thing that I don't like is the ashtray. I have
    4 ashtrays in a car that will never be smoked in, and
    I don't smoke.

    Also, my armrest on top of the console has some wear
    and there are no companies repopping those for this
    year console that I can find. I am thinking about having
    my upholstery guy cover it until I find a better one.

    I like the Granada console, but if you have floor shift,
    that one is out.

    This console is 71-73 Mustang/Cougar.
    I have seen some in full size Torinos etc. that
    were around in the early-late 70's that look
    okay. Fit? I don't know there. My gauge trio
    goes on the bottom of the dash just in from of the
    shifter above this console.
