Many moons ago I found a mail order company that was manufacturing
center armrests for all kinds of cars.  Because of the small market and
custom designs, they were expensive.  I believe they wanted $100+ for
one for my '86 4KS (I passed).  I might still have the info if anyone's
interested.
BTW, has anyone put the OEM center armrests on a CQ?  I hear that
they were left off of cars with the ski-sack.
