Abstract
An arm rest is disclosed that has a base that fits securely into a cavity in the molded, manufacturer-equipped console that is located between the driver and the front passenger seats of certain vehicles. The base piece of the arm rest extends up vertically from the cavity that is part of the molded console that is located between the driver and front passenger seat and has a groove at its top. A flat member, the arm rest piece, has a tongue on its underside and this tongue fits into the groove in the top of the base piece to form the complete arm rest. The upper side of the arm rest piece is finished to be comfortable to the human arm and to aesthetically match the interior of the vehicle.
