Looking good! Is that an original dash shroud, or rechromed?

Ken's our sYc/PowerTour PhotoHo!


That interior is pathetic. Makes you wonder how much of that stuff they actually get away with though.

Have a great trip. Hope to see you all on Tuesday.

Hi Ken:
I know you don't mind the feedback so I will comment based on what I remember from owning 3 66 biscaynes all with the fawn interior.None of the combinations you posted are correct.I don't know Gary's car but from what I see it is 65 door panels and 65 seat color combinations.
The new covers you have I have seen in 66 with more of a bronze interior not fawn.
Like this one.


The 66 fawn ones the top was the same color as the top of your door panels.Not a very good picture but you can see enough to see the top of the seat matches the top of the door panels.Not sure if I helped or caused you more headaches. I would research it further but I think you will find gary's combo is 65.
Take care Joe

Joe, I believe your picture and what Ken got are Belair interiors. I think Biscaynes are different.

Hello, That seat cover Ken got is 1966 Biscayne....cloth pattern matches my original. I do agree the color at the top of the cover is wrong though. Mine is blue and the top of the seat covers matches the top of the door panels...Just my experience with my 66........
