I'm a little confused on the rear interior on a 69 442 hardtop (no post). I've seen pictures of two different styles, one with arm rests and one with a panel kit. I also have seen two different types of rear panels, one that had like a sail panel attached to it. I'm more of a Buick guy with a 71 GS, but always loved the 442. I registered 11 years ago been mostly eye balling, but recently purchased a 69 442 so trying to figure out what's right. I did a search it seems someone asked a similar question over 5 years ago over 500 views and no replies, kind of odd. I know over at the V8Buick forum members are really helpful and on top of their game, I'm hoping it's like that here also.Thanks in advance, Tom.

 

I have no idea what that top picture is (might be the rear seat side panel parts for a 'vert), but the bottom picture is of the correct rear seat interior side panel for a '68/'69 Holiday coupe (probably OK for the sport / post coupe too). That "sail" that extends off the end goes above the rear seat and package tray. The middle picture looks to be the correct arm rest, although it seems to be missing the soft pad.

 

Thanks John, yeah I got that stuff in the top picture with the car and then I saw this (link below) on ebay that states it's for the 69 442 so I was a little confused. The pad is missing but just wanted to know if that was the correct angled arm rest.

A plastic chromed spacer the same size as the arm rest, goes between the arm rest and the panel.

 

Thanks, yeah almost forgot about that, would be like the one in the front.

 

Forgot to mention that the top photo is for a Supreme, no courtesy lights.

 

Yes, the armrest is angled like that to clear the rear seat bottom.

 

I'm not sure if a chrome back plate spacer is used on the rear arm rest?

 

If there is one on the front, then there should be one on the rear.

 

Yes you would think there should be one. I can't seem to find that shape back plate anywhere.
