Never saw one like that before, but it looks cool.

Kind of answers the question no one was asking.

Then again, does it have a cup holder attachment?

I swear I've seen that armrest style before - but not sure where. It was very likely her on Pelican. Web search didn't find anything though.

On seeing the first pic, my first thought was ... some sort of airflow, ventilation pipe via the tunnel opening.

I think It is an arm rest.

My guess is, the rubber accordian on the pipe is to keep it friendly in higher temps. Esp for kiddos in the back seat. I agree it likely came from an office chair, or maybe some sort of surgical/tattoo arm rest chair dealibob. Its a nice touch in my opinion. Not my car, its my bosses.

I find it horrendously aesthetically offensive, an affront to the eyes and sensibilities, a complete abomination.

I don’t hate it.
