I'm no expert but I thought that the 68's were the only year with the padding on the edges. Maybe you have a Cougar console or ?

think u r right on 68 padding only.but does the radio plate pad have the same padding as the bottom//as i mentioned the top pad is flat 1/4-3/8 thick.doesnt butt up right with bottom pad i still think this radio area pad might be 67--and i need 68 pad there to matc bottom//thanks

There is no padding on 67 consoles - the top pieces were 'stainless' type metal.

I have a '68 w/ upper and lower consoles. I'm sure they're original because my parents bought the car "almost new" in 1969 and I have had it since 1980. The console padding and the radio trim padding have never fit snugly. There is a gap between the two. However, if you put a spacer under the front of the console it will fit better. I have even used a folded paper towel under each side of the front padded portion and everything seems to line up better. I hope this made sense.

Also, the pad around the radio is not flat. It should have the same contour as the bottom console.

On the topic of consoles, my 67 top ( shifter) plate does not have a clip to hold it snug in place, it rattles, any ideas on what I can use to keep it from rattle'n
