[69Tom]

Jason--

Unless the workers were hammered at the Pontiac factory that day, I'd say those aren't original to your car. My '68 did not have such said issues.

So, I'm not 100% clear on what you're doing with the car. Are you having new seat covers put on? Or are you simply buying new seat backs? Essentially, you have two passenger seat back frames on your car at the moment. You just have to find a driver's side seatback frame. I'm pretty sure you can get any GM A-body frame for 68 or 69.

Also, in terns of the driver's armrest, I'm pretty sure the front should not have an ashtray. Only the short, rear pads had the ashtrays in them. They make reproduction pads for both the front and rear and are not expensive at all. However, others can chime in here, but I'm pretty sure you need a set of FRONT armrest bases and pads. Check out Performance Years. They should have everything.

OK, just saw the pad there. That's definitely a rear pad and base on the front driver's side. You definitely need a new base and pad for it.

Nice car. Exactly the same color as my old one except I had a GOLD vinyl top on mine. Even had the Ivy Gold interior without a console. I'd go through Legendary for the reproduction seat covers and armrest pads (they should have the base too). I like their stuff the best.
