I'm trying to finish up a 69 Super bee project which has been difficult due to most of the car was missing and I don't know anyone with a bee to check out details on the car for reference. The car is a low option, auto on the column, post car. Looking at buying armrests, can't find anything regarding what size, the 13s or 9" are correct for the car? Any help appreciated.
 
13's in the front, 9's in the back...

The arm rest pads are supposed to be 9 inch long for fronts and rears. The rears have the ash trays in them. The front bases are longer for the handle opening. 13 inch long front arm rest pads were that I know of, in C-bodies, Chargers, and 67 GTX .

Add 67 Coronet R/T's to that list also for the 13" fronts.
 
Thank you gentlemen. I couldn't find anything definitive if there were differences in car options. Being able to ask you good people on FBBO has helped a lot. And I have Wayne's thread saved, just wish I had his awesome skill set too.:thumbsup:
 
Add '66 Belvedere and Satellite to that list as well.

Satellite (and Coronet 500) but not Belvedere (or Coronet 440).

My Satellite and my Belvedere take the same parts. If I'm wrong I'd appreciate the correction.

Coronet 500 and R/T (with ash tray in RF on 67)
All chargers (unknown about ash tray in RF)

Been going through the same thing. From what research I've done 9" both front and rear, tho a bit different. The rear had an ash tray, there are a lot of after market that eliminates the ash tray and I will probably go with that when I get to my interior.
 
Chargers had the RF ashtray. The 67's had 2 lighters, 5 ashtrays, and 4 seats. A true smokers package.
