The Grand National console fits over a factory-installed console, between the bucket seats and just behind the gear selector.
This console comes standard with quality features that will bring a whole new enjoyment to your cruising life. For example a padded armrest ergonomically positioned to support the driver’s arm for maximum comfort, an under-lid storage compartment, one medium and one large drink holder. You can also upgrade the large drink holder to our new Mega drink holder which accommodates the largest variety of beverage container sizes.
Best of all, no tools are necessary for installation. Which also means no modifications or permanent changes to your interior. Your car remains in its original condition. In no time, you’ll be ready to cruise and enjoy a favorite beverage without the worry of spilling all over your interior.
The storage compartment found on the factory console becomes a hidden cubby when using the Grand National Standard console. Use it to store valuables and other gadgets that you want hidden out of sight. You can easily access the hidden storage by lifting up the new console.
You have the choice of two consoles for the Grand National, the Standard version and the Shorty version.
– The Grand National Standard version will stop just short of the gear selector. It will also cover up the factory storage compartment and ashtray.
– The Grand National Shorty is four inches shorter than the Standard version and allows full access to the ashtray.

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.

Dual Drink Holder Options
The drink holders in our consoles are made from durable, long-lasting polymers that will provide many, many years of functionality while retaining the striking appearance you expect from Classic Consoles. All drink holders come standard with a black finish around the top rim. The top rim is the area of the drink holder predominately seen when the console is installed in your vehicle so we offer you the option of four additional distinct colors & finishes to customize your console or match the existing trim package of your vehicle’s interior.
HumpHugger and Saddle Consoles have two different drink holder sizes, one medium and one large. The large drink holder is upgradable to our new Mega size drink holder (you can read the difference between the Large and Mega). The medium is not upgradeable to a larger drink holder due to the size limitation of the console.
Medium Drink Holder – Our medium-sized drink holder that is included with this console will accommodate 12 oz. soda cans and most smaller plastic water bottles. The interior diameter is just over 2 3/4 inches with a depth of just over 3 inches.
Large Drink Holder – Our Large-sized drink holder included with this console accommodates virtually all types of soda & energy drink cans, most plastic water bottles, and larger coffee cups. The bottom half of our large drink holder has a unique step down shape to allow smaller drink containers a secure hold while the upper half is large enough to hold bigger beverages with larger diameters.
Mega Drink Holder – You also have an option to upgrade the Large Drink Holder in this console to our brand new Mega Drink Holder. The Mega Drink holder is specifically designed to hold large, insulated beverage containers by maintaining a wide internal diameter from top to bottom and does not “step down” like the Large Drink Holder. We built the Mega Drink Holder as a special request from many of our great customers who wanted a better fitting drink holder for their large insulated mugs, like many of the Yeti styles.
