    Hey everybody,
    Did the 1972 Riviera have a tissue dispenser option from the factory? I have not seen anything about it in the literature but I know that American cars sometimes had these accessories. Is '72 a bit too late for this accessory?

There was a brochure showing all Buick authorized accessories that were Available. For 72 there were 3 choices, an under dash, under seat and in combination with a litter container. Here is a picture of each from the brochure and a real life picture of the under dash unit. These are legit Buick accessories and proper for your car.

    Ah, amazing! Thank you so much for the information and reference pictures. Do you know if there are real life ref pictures of the other options?

    That’s all dealer installed stuff. For some reason each year accessories folder was all artwork. I don’t think factory photos exist for that stuff.

    I had the tissue dispenser in my 70 GSX. My wife had some friends over for a get together. One of her friends said she thought it was kind of a girly option and it didn’t belong in a mans car like that. I couldn’t get it out fast enough. :D

    Haha! That's funny! I suppose she has a point. I get hay fever and I kinda go in for all of those purposeful accessories. Something about each thing having a purpose. I was also looking at the little under-seat trash can. Which is basically just a plastic box! :p

    I've been doing some research and it seems the mini console was for storing 8 tracks, is that right?

    That was one of it’s purposes but not solely that purpose, the interior had slots for plastic dividers that could be inserted to use for 8 tracks, that allowed you to customize it to your needs

    That's handy. Did it just bolt into the carpet? Do you have one, or have you in the past?
