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.

 Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

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
