1970-1972 Console Wood Grain Insert (Automatic)
The 1970-1972 Console Wood Grain Insert (Automatic) is a vehicle-specific interior trim veneer designed to refresh the upper surface of your automatic floor console. [1, 2]
A signature defining feature of the premium first-generation Monte Carlo cockpit was its upscale, rich Burlwood pattern trim finish, which strictly distinguished it from the black accents or brushed aluminum found in same-era Chevelles and El Caminos. Over time, original factory console vinyl inserts are prone to shrinking, bubbling up from temperature changes, or peeling at the edges. This drop-in replacement restores the console face to absolute showroom appearance. [1, 2]
