D88 Custom Holiday Sedans got the Strato bench seat (optional in the Custom Holiday Coupe). All Delmonts and D88 more-doors got the regular bench only, and the D88 Holiday Coupe got the sport bench (fold down arm rest) as the only seating choice.
Exactly, it took me some researching to find the differences in the models and Interiors. My mother owned a brand-new 67 Delta custom holiday Coupe just as you described, bucket seat center console the rear speaker was in the top center of the back seat as I recall.

I'm doing the run from DC to ChiTown later this week to get it. Will post photos as they become available. I'm planning on making this my daily driver (at least for three seasons of the year).

That was a $5000 car in 1967!

Looks like your car originally had a black vinyl roof. It looks great with painted white roof, but I bet that aqua w/ black vinyl was a stunner. I've always said the 67-68 GM B-body 4-door HT were some of the few cars that really wore a vinyl roof well.


Thread can keep going for my part, if the pics keep coming! That 66 Delta is a looker too. You tend to forget just how well these cars were styled until you see a really nice one.
