If you want modern comfort in your classic Mustang, TMI has what you’re looking for.
I was just lamenting to a friend the other day that the one thing our classic muscle cars needs is a modern console. In depth, I proceeded to outline my wish list for it: cup holders, flip-up lid with storage, classic looks, NAV system, maybe a power point or two (for the GPS and cellphone), and a comfortable place to rest your arm. Every time I get in my Chevelle, I yearn for that kind of comfort.
Today, I got this press release from a company called TMI Products in Corona, CA. TMI doesn’t have one for my Chevelle, but they have designed consoles to fit all ’65 through ’73 Mustangs with bucket seats. TMI says they can make them with stock-style materials and colors, or from exclusive custom fabrics and tones. Installation is by hook and loop straps, so no fabricating or drilling is needed. TMI’s consoles fit directly over the transmission tunnel or OEM factory console. Other features include a hidden flip-up lid with a storage compartment, coin holder, and map pocket. (No power points or NAV systems—yet.) They also have a hidden secret compartment in the bottom of the storage area. Prices start at $120.98.
Now if we can just get them to do Camaros and Chevelles!
