Can't. My privileges have been taken away. I already have said too much. The moderators have probably been contacted already. I expect my PM box to be full shortly. Good luck.

What privileges?
Said too much about what?
Which moderators?
If your PM box is full,it's not from anything I said,just you.

Rick,

What speedy service.....Thanks so much. Photo`s are great!

Have these seats been recovered at some point? Or are they original?

Oh Mr. Cumby.....I need you.

Sorry Dan, the squirrel froze to the treadmill and we just got him warmed up.

Maybe I measured from a different spot than Rick but here's what I got for the rear seat. Can't be much help with front buckets; I chose the cheap seats!

Straight on shot.



Measuring from here...........



we get..............

Well I guess GM varied in their placement of the medallions. I measured from the same place you did Dennis, and this for sure is the original back seat.
Wonder if anyone else has another measurement for their back seat medallions?

Rick and Dennis,

I really appreciate the help....it means a lot when a guy has had a long day of work...and he is willing to go into the garage and take pictures to help someone. You guys are THE BEST!

Rick....do not be concerned. I`m sure your back seat is original....just as we have said many times, we find more and more mistakes on these cars everyday....this is how we all learn.

I`d like to see yet another measurement from another all original back seat. I bet we see even another variance.

So if someone has one....feel free to jump in and show us.

Thanks again Rick and Dennis.

Dan.

I would have tried to help last night but for some reason these would not upload. At any rate, these are the factory original seat covers off the Shadow Grey car I restored. The fronts are bench though I am not sure why or if they would be different. The second photo is of the rear. The medallions are gone but you can still see their outlines.
Rick
