Cloth Interior Option in 1969
I am looking at a 69 442 that appears to have factory red cloth seats. The current owner doesnt have much info on the car and since I have never seen this before I was wondering if cloth was an option in 69 or whether these are custom.
Thanks

The factory red interior on a 69 442 would have been vinyl, not cloth. That isn't original.

I think you are reading far too much into an imprecisely-worded post title, as the O.P. is pretty clearly interested in knowing if the red cloth buckets in a car he was looking at were factory, which they are not.

I have a 1969 Cutlass Supreme with original bucket seats covered in the original Cloth and vinyl fabric. It's pretty cool. Cloth on the seat bottom and back where the driver and passenger come in contact with the seats and vinyl around the sides and on the head rest. I also have the 1969 Oldsmobile dealer album depicting the interior options with swaths fro examples for all the 1969 Oldsmobile models.
But with all of that said, the interior in the OP car is not original. Still nice though, but not original.

By the way, I've always wanted that Platinum car with red interior shown in the 1969 dealer brochure I posted above.

was no red cloth bucket seats in 1969 Olds 442s but there were cloth interiors in 1969 442s and if I want to add that to this thread I don't need your approval to post it.

Joe I know you are trying to be helpful but it is OK to allow me and other posters to add to conversations in threads. You don't need to tell me how to interpret the original posters postings.... I can do that for myself. No need for you to constantly insist that only your interpretation is correct. I agree that there

The one absolute truth I've learned over the years is that no matter what you write in a post, someone will interpret it in the worst possible way. This is why there are people who think that any Lansing-built car is a W-car.
Public service message over. I'm done with this topic.

I can't tell you how many times I thumbed through that 69 Olds sales brochure and drooled over those 442's! My cousins husband bought that same 69 platinum 442 with red interior with the four speed brand new. I had the pleasure of driving it around the block. What a car What a time!

Exactly! The OP didn't specify seat type, but I'm pretty sure that red was only offered in bucket seats in the 442 in 1969, in which case cloth was NOT an option for the red interior. The OP's later photo seals it.

My '69 Cutlass S convertible has (had) a black cloth interior. The cloth portion has faded out over the years but it looks factory to me.
