Question 1967 Delta 88 Custom Holiday Coupe - Seats

Hello, all. I know there are a couple of these cars out there, and perhaps the seats are common to more than one Olds. The interior has a vinyl and cloth Strato bench seat with armrest. Both front and rear seats need to be redone - can anyone point me in the right direction for replacement seats? I'm not sure if it will end up cheaper to replace them or re-upholster them (the foam is dry rotted and crumbly and needs replacing too).

Also, rather than the normal amber front running lights, there are blue/teal lenses behind the clear covers. The back up lights are also blue. The front lights are in good shape, but the rear lights are cracked. Anyone have any info on such lens inserts?
Thanks!!

Edit - we are having the seats redone by Eastenn in Knoxville, TN. Here is a before, I'll update with an after and a price

Front Bench Seat recovered

We decided to save considerable time and aggravation and just pay someone to do the recovering. New foam, new fabric/vinyl, about one week turnaround, for $600 (including tax).

Oh boy what a nice job! And your car looks very nice too. Black on black with blackwalls with blacked out windows. TUFF!

Nice seat! Darn it! Now I want one for my 66 Jetstar.

Seriously though I was already considering one.

Was the $600 for recovering front & rear seats?

That car is a living breathing saint.
Hopefully that picture will inspire more people to join the occult of Delta 88.

Aussie 67 delta on the board custom made his own I believe, drop him a PM and see if he is interested in chatting.

Hee hee- even the seat stitch pattern gives that car away as what it really is- the 1967 Starfire.

Unfortunately, the $600 was for the front seat only - 550 + sales tax. There were broken springs in the seat, so more work was required than simply new foam and covers.

Thanks for the link, always looking for sources for parts...
