Consoles glamorized 4-speeds and TF bucket seat cars. Usually considered as a companion to the bucket seat option, not in C-body cars, it appears.
In my '67 Chrysler FSM, there is a small inset above the illustration for the console shifter which I did not understand until years later. In the inset it detailed a block-off plate which would fill the shift quadrant hole left when a console was used with a COLUMN SHIFT car. AND, such a plate exists in the 1967 Chrysler Parts Manual, too! How many of those cars are known to exist???
When you take a console out of a console car, you then realize just how much space that neat console takes up. How much more "open" the feel becomes.
Enjoy!
