Default Bread box, opens?
I have an '87 and it looks like the breadbox does not open. But then I see some that do. What it a later change?

Its an aftermarket piece. The breadbox never opened on stock.

The passenger side of the 1984-1989 C4 is awful. This is what the factory should have done.

I think they only did the bread box to keep the safety Natzies off their azz till they did the DS air bag in '90.

That could be a popular mod if someone made them. I would buy one.

Couple years back, someone designed a neat glove box along with two cup holders. It was one of kinds, and everybody truly wanted one including myself, and would of paid anything for it. It opened up and there was plenty room to store items.

Now thats an idea. I like the flat panel but I wish it had "corvette" on it.

I admit I was disappointed that the flat piece didn't say Corvette. For me the additional room in the car is what I was after. I did like having a place to stash stuff other than the console. But like the picture shows it opened the cars interior up.

Could alway put a flat corvette emblem on it. But I think it looks good flat. Too bad the logo wasn't embossed

I see two cup holders. I guess I got a hold of the one of a kind. You'll pay anything?

To me the flat panel looks like a truck dash board. Too plain. Maybe a C4 insignia or something would make it look more complete. For me, I'll keep my breadbox dash just to make others ask what's behind it.
