Abstract
A storage console for an automotive vehicle includes a manually moveable closure panel suspended upon the console's side walls at an installed location extending rearwardly from the front part of the console, so as to allow access to otherwise unusable space at the front of the console. A number of manually movable, interchangeable closure panels may be configured alternatively on opposite sides, so as allow a motorist to select from utilities such as cup holders, coin holders, powerpoints, and other utilities which are available in closure panel working surfaces.
