More goodies...

Shifter, and reverse lamp housings back from the chromer.  I also got some console bits rechromed. Working on getting that back together.

Console ready to go back in the car. The upholstery is wrong but I don't have the heart to replace it. My father in law's girlfriend (now mother in law) used to sit on the console instead of the seat. So he had it upholstered with some foam so it would be more comfortable. Too good of a story to not keep it.

Dear Buick_65 and mid-60s Buick owners who's cars have stories to tell,

Console ready to go back in the car. The upholstery is wrong but I don't have the heart to replace it. My father in law's girlfriend (now mother in law) used to sit on the console instead of the seat. So he had it upholstered with some foam so it would be more comfortable. Too good of a story to not keep it.

Indeed leaving the console as-is keeps the story alive.  When anybody asks why you did that, the story will most certainly bring a smile to their face!
