62-64 Four Speed Console Madness!!!!
Just when you think you know everything, something else pops up! I had thought that all console pieces that went under the floor in 62 to 64 Pontiacs were the same. WRONGO! Ross out in Washington state has set me straight! I did know that 62-64 Bonnevilles had a bigger transmission hump than 62-64 Catalinas or GPs. Bonnies used the Roto 275 and Cats/GPs used the Roto 200, both pieces of crap (my opinion!). Thus Cats and GPs had a smaller hump. I also knew that automatic consoles were shorter in Bonnies as the hump was closer to the bottom of the dash. Although they look the same as Cat/GP consoles, they are not. Wait, it gets worse! Now, Ross came forward with some eye-opening photos. The Bonnie four speed console plastic pieces under the carpet are shorter and different than the Cat/GP pieces. Thus the carpet sets will have to made different as well. Take all of this into consideration when buying a console for your car. Hats off to Ross. See the following photos:
