The Datsun Z console fits directly over a factory-installed console between the bucket seats. Saddle consoles are uniquely designed to fit over an existing factory console just behind the gear selector.
Interior car designs in the seventies lacked many of the comforts we now expect to see in a car. Especially when it came to drink holders. In most cars, they simply didn’t exist and the 300Zx was no different. Our Saddle console solves that problem, plus it gives you a few more modern features.
This console comes standard with features that will bring a whole new enjoyment to your driving experience. For example, standard features include a padded armrest designed with premium comfort in mind and provides maximum support for those longer drives. Additionally, under the hinged armrest reveals the factory storage compartment which provides enough space for those smaller essentials. And finally, the front of the console has two built-in medium sized drink holders.
Best of all, only simple tools are necessary for installation. Which also means limited modifications and no permanent changes to your interior. In no time, you’ll be ready to cruise and enjoy a favorite beverage without the worry of spilling all over your interior. See the installation tab for more detailed information.
The detail of this hand built console will surpass your expectations. We only use quality materials including automotive-grade vinyl. Equally important is our large selection of standard color options that will complement original and aftermarket interiors.

Vinyl Color Options
Color Options from Classic Consoles
With our large selection of in-stock automotive grade vinyl, you are sure to find the right color and grain to match your vehicle. We can even use your own material to cover any console design, no extra cost to you. In most cases, we’ll only need one yard of material to fully cover most console designs. Optional two-tone colors are available for most console designs whether you are choosing from our vinyl selection or providing your own material.
In addition to the standard color options, we offer a host of premium vinyl colors which are available for an additional cost of $16.00 per console. These colors are limited and unique to certain vehicle models and years. The additional cost is due to their random availability and the premium cost to obtain from suppliers. If these vinyl options are listed on the product page colors then they are currently available for your console.
Vinyl Samples are available to make it easier to pick the right color or grain. We’ll ship the sample at no cost, directly to you.
