Projects Weird little console ID help please

i just got This thing for my 48 plym. The seller and I don't know what it's from. The latch looks 55-70's GM the styling looks like 63 GM. Any help would be nice. the lid and the box are cast.
Thanks

i think it's way too small for that. that is a stool it's sitting on, for a size reference.

 

I had a similar one that came out of an early 60's Ranchero but on mine the fins were deeper and they continued over the front.

 

Lid looks a lot like 61-63 Pontiac console lids.

 

Very early Nova, Tempest, F85, Corvair maybe.

i'm thinking small GM also but google won't show me one! seems way too small for a commercial application. i have done many specific searches and found several consoles but not the same one.

 

Is the lid die-cast? Any casting numbers in it? Is the lower part fiberglass, plastic, steel?

 

Sure looks like the one in my father's 64 grand prix

 

The lock/push button was used at least as early as '49 on GM products glove boxes.
The lid itself is similar in design/construction to '48/'53 era Chevrolet pickup
glove box door but it is oriented differently. Bottom line for me is, I don't know
what it is from specifically, but think GM is most likely. Could even be from something like GM Truck and Coach Division from that era.

What do I win if I tell you?

the lid and the body/box are cast. don't see any numbers. not a grand prix. most GM consoles in 63-4 have similar style. the GM lock/latch looks to be original.

I took a picture today of a chevy dash, think maybe a impala but not sure.
Was the glove box door that is really close to your door, that I thought was unique.
It is a lousy picture as the shed is dark, I was not there to look at the dash. Might give a general idea of the time that chevy was doing the chrome doors.

 

that's a 61-2 dash, they had padded consoles. but yeah the era seems about right.

 

I had thought that too, the lid does look like the Chev truck glovebox, although those are a stamped stainless skin and not die cast, but this might be part of a big truck or bus or something.

 

Could it be an aftermarket piece, maybe an Almquist or JC Whintney, Sears or Montgomery-Ward?

 

I hadn't thought of that. Entirely possible.

 

Is it even car related? Just a thought.

 

I believe so, based on the GM lock cyl and the bottom ends are curved to fit over the driveshaft hump (presumably) hell It could be from a Disney world trolley for all I know! Like Hnstray said it could be from a coach of some kind. It just seems too small to me it's about 11" long and about 9" tall

 

It might get adapted to be my 44oz big gulp holder!

 

I agree GM coach/school buss/?? of the era. Don't think it's passenger car, looks too utilitarian.

 

Thanks for all the input guys, I guess it's not really all that important. It has the right look for my plym. And that's what really matters.

 

Did you look under the lid for a number?

 

Yup didn't find one

 

prolly has a curse on it, won't fit the ply... and any other thing i can think of.................................want to get rid of it...........................................?

 

Not until I see it in place and decide I don't like it Thanks for asking. Lol
