A console box of the longitudinal split type for an automobile split longitudinally into front and rear blocks. Upwardly and downwardly projecting strips engage with each other at the ends of opposed upper walls of the split front and rear blocks. An extension projects toward the block having the upwardly projecting strip from the side wall of the block provided with the downwardly projecting strip. A cutout corresponding to the extension and a platelike seat capable of contacting the inner surface of the side wall of the block with the downwardly projecting strip, are formed in the block with the upwardly projecting strip. Thus, the console box can be simply assembled.
