Dash board covers

I have a 1969 cutlass and I see that molded dash covers are available. Are there any that fit decent? Who sells a good one? Thanks

Apparently , I will be the first person to buy one. I see the parts place and tamraz are both selling them.

Tinner, as far as I know most dashboard covers are made by the same supplier. Here is a website I've done business with in the past. Their customer service is top notch.

I don't know how well the dash covers fit. Also, you could go to a local auto upholstery shop and see if they could make you a custom one.

Original Parts Group sells the Moulded ABS covers for '69 Cutlass for $135. I've seen one installed on El Caminos and they look very nice.They can be painted to match with Sem vinyl paint. LARRY

Thanks for the responses. I have heard mixed reviews on experiences with both vendor's. I'm hoping that once installed, it would have a factory appearance and fit decent.

These molded hard plastic covers look like molded hard plastic covers. It's not a factory look. I might use one on a daily driver, but not on a car I cared about.

Let me know how you like it and the overall fit. My dash had one crack which I was willing to live with. It's getting worse and I'm looking for an inexpensive solution for my driver.

Would advise doing a google search about parts place before doing business with them.

The OP is asking about a thin, hard plastic dash pad cover overlay for a 69, not a repro full foam pad for a 66.
