Title: Not original, but looks official...consolette ring
Post by: schlepcar on June 15, 2015, 08:46:45 PM

Just a quick bit of cheating on a consolette. I bought this chrome ring listed below and it fits perfectly in a manual console. It is a nice finishing touch without going broke on an original. Dan

Dear Dan, Jim and mid-60s Buick tinkerers, . . .

Hmm, I'm not there yet, but a custom saddle console is on my "to-do" list for my trusty wagon.  I'm not sure what I would use it for, but let's face it, can you have too much chrome on a mid-60s car?  :laughing7:
