    Looking for the correct name of this piece. It is the plastic behind the arm rest on a bench seat. Mine is broken and I am looking for a good one. Thanks!

    You need to let us know which year you have so we can find you the correct part. A color would be helpful too.

    White is the worst color to find....for some reason....something about the white plastic chemical composition...makes all white items disintegrate due to age.....best bet...get one from a colored interior like green, black, saddle and use SEM dye to make it white......visit www.sem.ws to get the dye

    Duane may have one...he is "THE" interior "go-to" guy here!

    Any other ideas? Other cars/years that might work?

    For the A-bodies, this piece would be the same for all 71-72 Buicks & Oldsmobiles with the front bench with armrest. It might be the same for the big cars, but I cannot say.

    Big cars are similar but their mounting pin locations are slightly different. I had one from a 73 LeSabre and compared it to a 72 Skylark. I believe you can make it work.

    I've got a black one if your interested. As previously mentioned good white ones are impossible to find. You pay for shipping it's yours.
