 Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 3:07 pm Post subject: What do I need? Rear armrest for a 65 notchback |
 |
|
I've done a little searching, but found different answers are possible, so I'm hoping to get some help-
I have a 65 s notchback, and I need to confirm what I need for the rear side interior panels.
I have 'z' armrests in the front (no chrome), but the rears were missing from day one. It's a two piece panel, with what looks like a couple of places to mount a rest. From the pics I've seen, it looks like it's an armrest that flows from the front armrest to the rear.
So I'm looking for confirmation on what they look like close up, to know what I'm looking for. I don't seem to see any in the classifieds, maybe someone has a set here?
I'm assuming they're the same as a fastback/squareback?
thanks in advance for the help) |

No. They're all by themselves. You might try looking in the galley of this fine site (in the Notchback section), and see IF someone has posted some pics of them. But, you're right, they do sorta flow from front to rear.

From what I can tell, I think, is that fastback/notchback will work, 64-65, maybe earlier?
They are slightly different in year and model, and hope I can spot them when I see them)
I put a WTB, hopefully I will find a set. thanks again Ev. |

Rear arm rests - any of them for the most part - blacks and greys from 61-65 are in very slim supply. I havnt seen a nice one in years. There was a time when we were lucky to see a nice nos one pop up, but it seems those days are gone.
I would love to see a nice fiberglass one made with the correct pebble grain. That would be cool.
