Reproduction front armrest in dark ivy gold / dark green for the Mercury Cougar. This unit is ambidextrous, meaning it will fit either the driver (left hand) or passenger (right hand) sides. Although many vendors would disagree, these are in my opinion average quality. "BUT" they are the best available reproductions on the market at this time.
The inner portion where your fingers go have too sharp of edges and they do not hold up nearly as well as the originals do. Left and right are the same for 1967 standard Cougar's. We also have NOS and used available in most colors.
I know it will cost us sales by being blunt about the quality on some of these items, but after using these products on my own cars I have developed an opinion on almost every part listed here in this online catalog and I feel you the customer would like to know "before" you purchase, exactly what to expect.
These will rarely match original armrests, so they are best purchased in pairs. The Blue and Ivy Gold will not be the same color as the original armrests. They match the inset in the door panel, rather than matching the color of the door panel. Sold Individually.
