OPTIONAL FLOOR CONSOLES (Code 472)*
 
 
 
Optional Console
The optional, extra-cost floor console (standard in the Grand Prix with Strato-bucket front seats) adds a touch of lively sportiness to Pontiac interiors. Additionally, the console compartment provides a generous amount of storage space for personal belongings. Consoles are available only with bucket front seats and floor-mounted shift, and each varies in design, depending on series and type of transmission specified.
 
Firebird Console
Console for All Firebird Models. Equipped with Automatic Transmission and Floor-mounted Shift. Features rich, burl grain, vinyl applique top panel and storage compartment. A push-bar release, located on top of the shift lever, prevents accidental selection of Park, Reverse or Low. (See chart on page N-1 for console availability.)
 
LeMans and GTO Consoles

Bonneville and Grand Prix Consoles

A convenient storage compartment is an additional feature. (See chart on page N-1 for console availability.)
