Armrest for Car, 1950

Easy-chair comfort for the car driver was provided by an adjustable armrest which hooked over the back of the front seat, in 1950.

The driving aid––a flexible metal bar with a sliding cushion––fitted all cars. A small lever permitted the foam-rubber cushion to be adjusted to the most comfortable height, then locked in place. The metal bar was covered with fabric to prevent damage to the car upholstery.
