Is this real? Can anyone shed light on this? By the way, not mine....

Well, I can see why only 650 were produced...

it is a nice car, but the interior has to go.

 

Real deal...

Wow! And it wasn't just a regional thing!

 

Nice looking car on the outside, but I agree, that interior has to go!

 

Wow that interior is something else.

 

OWWW. MY EYES!

 

And I thought my parents' 76 S sedan with Oxblood "Osborne" plaid was loud...that pattern reminds me of a snakeskin.

It WAS the 70s, after all... and the 70s were not exactly noted for good taste, in automobile interiors or much else.

 

And for decades I was sure my folks had the utter worst sense of fashion and style in the entire country...house painted black w/ brown shutters...Notre Dame t shirts and sweatpants in most colors except gold and blue...and a jagged stone wall INSIDE the house

finally there's proof that's they're not the very worst.

this is a good day.

 

I think it's cool. Sometimes different is good especially since it is stock.

 

Its more than my eyes that are in shock. All it needs is dice to complement this pattern

Way better looking than the office cubicle divider looking interiors cars have now.
At least it doesn't look like the interior of a French house of ill repute like a lot of car's interiors did back then. They didn't call them pimpmobiles for nothing.

 

GM was trying to test our eyes in the '70's! Here are a few others they gave us:

Ahh, the disco era.

There's a reason why I say that cars and music both peaked between 1955 and 1972.

 

Chrysler had some great patterns in the late '60's, too (though I'm not familiar enough with their models to be able to find any pictures right now).

Interesting.....

 

On positive note - if a fair price could be met :

Not much drama in swapping out just seats/door panels.

Also a great candidate for an engine swap ...

No Buick V6 or a Chitty 305 to make for extra work when it comes time to yank it out & put a REAL Olds motor in there.

So for everyone that could never find anything nice to say about a 260 ...

There you go.
