I don’t think the ‘19’s have a CD player. The CD player in the Navigator is in the console, I literally never use it but you got the player along with the upgraded Revel speakers.
Was your Futura the batmobile model?

No Batman just a midsize two door sedan with the 2.3 engine. Paid about 2,800.00 brand new in 78. Sold it 2 years later for 2,600.

Mine arrived today and it works like a champ.
@Artie - In looking more closely at your console, I don't think this would fit. Ignoring the CD slot at the front, ours are not true boxes as there are protuberances (that's 987,412 points on Scrabble) along the right and left edges at the bottom...see the pic below. Plus, it is a reeeealy tight fit and our are bare plastic; it looks like you have some fabric lining on yours which I think would prevent it from fitting. All that being said, if 1) you took a dremel to the product and cut off the front to accommodate the CD player, 2) you didn't mind there being gaps along the bottom edges, and 3) you took a belt sander to all the sides to accommodate your luxurious fabric liner, I think it would work. But that sure seems like a lot of trouble for a maybe.
I see what you are talking about and I think you’re correct, it’s just not close enough to attempt I don’t think. I’ll just have to live with an unorganized luxurious cavernous console lol Thanks for the info!

The organizer measures about 12" wide by 14.75" long. (rough measurements) Like mentioned above, they are a super tight fit but they are made of cheap soft plastic that would be really easy to cut to fit. I bet you could easily cut them with a utility knife, just score and snap. I think a dremel would take way longer and make a mess. Anyway, they are pretty inexpensive and I think with a little patience and careful measurements you could make it work! I personally would go for it but I enjoy little projects like that.

I, like you, don’t mind getting my hands dirty so I’m gonna measure my console and see what it is and decide. If it’s not any bigger than I think it could work, if it’s smaller than there’s no chance since it won’t be able to use the walls of the console for stability.
By the way, how tall is it?

If it were me I would just use cardboard and make it like the ones you buy. After all you can’t see it with lid closed nor can anybody else. Think I’ll make one for the Expy and post pics when it’s done.
Idk if cardboard would be rigid enough for me, I keep a couple loaded mags in mine. I was thinking about some type of thin wood from a craft store or something.

I will get you a depth measurement. I put it together first outside in the garage and it seemed deeper than I would like but once inside it didn't seem as bad.
I personally think the plastic is much nicer than cardboard would be and I think you could make it work assuming your console isn't bigger than the expeditions. You could do wood but I think that would be more work and I would want to paint it and not leave it raw. I guess you could stain it to match the interior trim and that could be cool.
