I am trying to order new upholstery from Legendary for the bucket seats in my 67 442 project.
I have sent the attached pictures to Legendary but they are claiming that this pattern was not offered in 1967 for an Olds 442.
Does anyone recognize this pattern?
Do the seats look like they could be from a different car?
Appreciate any help here.
Here's another one. What Legendary apparently fails to understand is that Sports Coupes got different upholstery patterns than did Holiday Coupes or Convertibles for 1967. The trim code on the cowl tag will prove exactly what interior your car was born with. Note that Sports Coupes also have different door panels and short arm rests.

I thought the seats might be two tone but they are so dirty it is hard to discern. And yes, I had to send a pic to prove that the armrests were the shorter 11”.
It's really interesting how much Oldsmobile did to make the post cars look lesser.
Post cars were always bottom feeder loss leaders. That's why hardtops outsold them dramatically in the 1960s. Post cars are rare because they were undesirable when new. And the less weight argument really isn't. The difference was negligible and frankly was more due to less sound deadening and interior trim than from any difference in the body shell.
