Console arm rest
I can remember they sold those plastic holders that would clip in the top of the door window. Great for holding a beer in the 70's . Sip some out and face the opening front. No spill when pulling second gear.
Keeping the ashtray closed so the seeds wouldn't get all over the place and the Doobies behind the ear covered with my long hair, Hidden but easy access.
Now? We need a place for water, tissues, cell phone and a 9 mm.
