Abstract: A portable console and arm rest apparatus is set forth including a console selectively securable to the housing hump of an automobile. The console has selectively securable thereto a rearwardly extending arm rest formed with forwardly extending "L" shaped legs receivable within "L" shaped recesses within the console wherein the arm rest is formed with a perimeter wall about an arm rest tray wherein the perimeter wall is substantially equal to in height and aligned with the planar rim surrounding the planar support tray surface of the forwardly oriented console. The arm rest extends rearwardly a length substantially equal to the length of an automobile seat support surface to position the arm rest in alignment with a forward surface of the automobile's seat back rest to orient the arm rest relative to an individual positioned within the automobile seats.
