ABSTRACT:
A vehicle passenger compartment console assembly including a console body having an outer shell and an access opening disposed in the console body outer shell. A positioning apparatus is movably supported within the console body outer shell. At least two storage modules are disposed within the shell and are movably supported on the positioning apparatus. The storage modules are sequentially movable between one or more concealed positions displaced from the access opening and a displayed position adjacent the access opening. The positioning apparatus is configured to support any one of the storage modules in the display position while simultaneously supporting at least one of the other storage modules in a concealed position. This arrangement allows passenger compartment occupants to gain physical access to a module and its contents through the access opening while leaving other modules concealed within the shell.
