914World.com _ Originality and History _ Center Cushion

Posted by: narino Jun 18 2008, 07:39 PM


Anyone know when the center cushion was available in Tan? Was it always an option? I bought one off of ebay in ok condition and was going to have it recovered in black, but now am having second thoughts.

I take it that tan = beige, correct ??

black, brown and beige were available from MY'70 up to MY'74

black, opal and yellowstone for MY'75 (and maybe MY'76 ??)

Our '74 2.0 came with a complete tan interior, including center cushion. I can take a pic of it if you want, just let me know.

Is it the 'Plastic Tray' one or the the center
'Flip Box' Style???...
IF it is not the flip box Hinged Style.....
And the cushion has a 'zipper' on the bottom...
It is an aftermarket piece.....

Best to match it to your original seat leatherette upholstery color, as that's the way they came from the factory. Mine is a 73 2L with the color matched Appearance Group hinged/flip-up center storage console/seat cushion in tan ......or I've seen it called "Cinnamon", "Beige" too) - no zipper underneath.

new tan ones that fit into the plastic tray are still available at the factory and were all matched to the interior upholstery.
