Default Roadmaster center console?

Can somebody confirm the Buick Roadmaster, 91-96, came with a center console that opened and had cup holders in GM mid 90s burgundy leather? All i keep seeing is cloth burgundy?

Of course I ask, because my Caprice doesn't have cup holders (or an opening center console for that matter).

Thanks

Up to 93 none of the B body cars had cup holders for sure. 94 and after may have had cup holders, depending on the options. They had two styles of consoles with cup holders as well. One had two panels for the top, and the other had only one. The single panel style had the flip out cup holder, and the two panel had an integral cup holder. They did come in ruby red (burgandy) in the 94-96 cars.

I've been into the vodka tonite so maybe I am misunderstanding what you said. With that said, my mom bought a Roady Sedan new in 92 or 93 and it had the same flip out cup-holder console as her later Fleetwoods had.

If she bought it in 93, it may have been a 94, which would have the console with cup holders. I have not verified the 93s not having them, but I do not remember seeing any in the junk yards. I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong.

If it helps any, I had a 93 RMS parts car and it had the flip out cup holders (in the lid). The same as my old 94. I had a 95 and currently a 96 and those have the little black cup holder attachement that hangs on the armrest (not built into the lid).

Edit: here are a couple pics

The 93


The 96 (cup holder not seen here) but it's an attachment that just hooks on and hangs there. Not part of the lid like the 93

i've owned two 92's RMS's (one built in early 91) and they both had flip out cup holders. I had a burgndy interior in one but it was cloth. I know I have been in a burgundy leather one many times over the years with cup holders. (I've test driven a lot of Roady's)

Default Roadie Burgandy Console

There is a burgandy console on ebay right now with the two lids. I have been looking for the same console with two lids in burgandy cloth and cannot locate one for my Caprice Wagon

Default This sir, is what you refer to?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-BUICK-R...#ht_500wt_1054

Indeed indeed...we have a definitive answer, and possibly one more reason for me to stick with factory burgundy leather interior...

However, I am compelled to ask...are there any better consoles that will fit in a 94 burgundy leather caprice, such as from a 96 fleetwood for example?

Since it has been determined that many years had cup holders in the console, the issue is color. The 91-93 cars had dark maple red interiors, except for 93 which also may have ruby red interiors as well. The 94-96 B bodies have ruby red interiors, and the D bodies have different color red interiors than the B body cars. 93 D bodies (FSM) had 2 reds, bordeaux, and garnet. I do not know the interior colors of the 94-96 D bodies.

Default center consol/arm rest change

Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone has changed just the console/arm rest...
I now have a 94 RMW with blue leather interior, but I have never liked the cup holder in the 94 arm rest, I prefer the style I know that the 95 has...
I wonder how hard it is to replace just the arm rest from one year to the other? And that would be after finding a good 95 Blue Leather Roady arm rest!
