Little update before we leave for Power Tour....Got the rear Package Tray and rear speakers Installed.....The Front and Rear Glass will be installed when we get back....also after cleaning the trunk with WD-40 decided to "Not" redo the Trunk Splatter Paint as it actually looks beter in person than in the Pic's......Also here is a picture of my friend Gary's Biscayne Interior that's Fawn (Beige) also.....then here's a pictue of the Seat Covers I received from Cars.......I was expecting the Beige covers like everyone else has and got these instead........












Good Match EH!!..........LOL

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.

[66 Biscayne]

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........

You are right for sure belair and biscayne used different patterns.If I was not so lazy I would try to find my 66 dealer albumn since I think it has fabric samples in it.Belair had lines like the 65 seat pictures Ken posted. His new covers I think are biscayne just not his fawn color.
This is a 66 belair as far as I remember.

Why my friend.If gary's car is a 65 belair we are on track.
If it is a 66 biscayne I am confused.
You need the cloth pattern they sent with the top to match the top of the door panels and dash pad.I bet they have it since that color vinyl was used on a lot of Gm models.

Gary's is a 65 and you're right, if the top panel was the same it would be acceptable........

After getting back from the Power Tour and looking at the Biscayne in the garage.....I got a bit motivated and trimmed out the carpeting, installed kick panel speakers, installed the Kick Panels and things were starting to move smoothly again..........until I opened the box with the repro Sill Plates.......the Fisher Body Emblems were missing.......after calling the supplier.....I was asked...."How could that happen"...........I said......I can't Imagine Either........Where doe's it end with this "Crap"......still waiting for the Radiator.....9 weeks at this point......also got the Power Steering Hoses and support bracketry installed........Here are some new pic's
