Center Armrest in '81

[theGman]

Has anyone put a center armrest in an AvII over the center emergency brake handle?

I was thinking of doing a removable one over the winter and just wanted a short cut if it had been done by others. Would like the extra storage and cupholding possibilities.

Thanks,

Paul

I have one in my '77. The original build sheet lists it as an option available from AMC. It is just a cushion covered in the same leather as the seats that sits on top of the console behind the emergency brake handle and makes an armrest. No provision for cupholders or storage.

There are aftermarket consoles called humphuggers. While they are not designed for an Avanti, they might give you some ideas.

Thanks for the info; looks like this might be a junk yard deal for me.
