Subject: Humphugger Re-Designed? UGLY!
Last week I ordered a Humphugger Console for my '65 Convertible, and what I expected to get was the normal '65-'70 Convertible console pictured below:

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj91/NEFaurora/1966sprint200/65-66Convertiblehunphugger2ndtypePic2.jpgApparently Sometime in 2012, The Humphugger was re-designed....because so many people complained that they couldn't get their Fat 64oz Big Gulp's in the cup holder.. and now this is the result. They appear to have "Chromed" the upper plastic rims around the new cup holders as well.... The new humphugger Looks un-uniform, With one small cup holder and one HUGE cup holder and I could do without the Chromed cup holder rims which emphasize all of this..
I am returning this as I HATE this new design. I also noticed some stitching errors and issues in the area that accomodates the New Huge Cup holder as well....
The great thing about the Original was that it "Blended" well in the background of the interior because it had same size cup holders that looked uniform and the cup holder were all black...at least on the black colored consoles. "Classic Consoles" who is the maker of these consoles should have just made the newer design an "option", and still offered the original...and not replaced their entire line with them.
Anyway, I hate the new 2nd "Re-designed" Convertible Humphugger Console..
Does anyone or any vendor out there still have an Original Humphugger Convertible Console in Black as pictured exactly in the 1st picture above that they'd like to sell me? I may even buy two! Send me a PM or an e-mail to
