Installation

North America

For sedan, console only available as OPTION for the last year '78, so very rare.

For USA Coupe, the long box was standard, though the short box was an option. In Canada, coupe console was an OPTION.

Amco

Official Datsun Accessory by Amco was this nice padded armrest. It provided a pocket tray, the hinged armrest, and a compartment under the armrest. It perfectly fit the early console. If you had the nice Coupe long console, installation called for cutting it.

Comparison To B110 Consoles

The B210 consoles are similar to the equivalent B110 consoles, but the newer units are lower-profile and more streamlined/rounded.

• lower profile: does not rise up and cover the heater vent
• less angular, a bit more sleek
