Column shift with Bucket Seats?

In general, consoles were an option on most old Mopars. They were mandatory if you wanted an automatic on the floor. Auto trans would have column shift unless you checked the console option. My 69 'cuda340 has a 4 speed and the standard bench seat with center fold down armrest. And headrests since it was built after Jan 1, 1969.
I'm with the poster above, consoles are a waste in old mopars. And, they are dead weight.
