Title: 1968 Lower Steering Column Cover
Post by: Cadillac Nut on October 31, 2023, 07:36:01 PM
Need the lower steering column cover in brown/ tan (not sure what to call this color).   have a '68 Eldorado if it matters.  Should be the same all models

The factory terminology for this is a knee bolster.

Edit: this is what it was called in the 90's and onward. I think this was because they were padding it in an effort to help prevent injury to one's legs and knees in the event of an accident.
 I just figured it would have been called the same in previous years.

And the Master Parts Catalog calls it the Instrument Panel Steering Column Cover. Seems either the texture is different for 67-68 Eldos or it's a slightly different shape. I did part this color 68 Eldo and not sure I still have the cover, but will look for it and the 69 trunk latch rod. thanks,Jeff
