console in a manual duster?
One of the other members on here has seen the same thing as me. Wonder if it is a Canadian thing as he is from Canada as well.

As a side note - over the last ten years or so I have come across 4 or 5 four speed console bases installed from the factory in 75 and 76 auto cars with auto top plates. They had flat cardboard covering the side cut out, with carpet glued onto it. I kind of suspect the factory had a lot of extra 4 speed console bases and used them up in auto cars. Watch for them, they show up sometimes on ebay and craigslist etc and the sellers don't even know the console is a four speed base
What I should have said is that I've seen 4-speed consoles with automatic top plates in later model a-bodies. In particular, a white one with a cardboard cover on the driver side. This particular car had the Hang 10 option and the console had a cardboard cover with carpet attached.
