67 Cutlass Conv bucket seat and console conversion
Hi Guys,
I am converting my 67 Cutlass Supreme Convertible to buckets and console.This is my parchment interior now
a few questions:
1) Is there any difference in pattern between "sport" "holiday coupe" or convertible ?
2) What pattern is the above picture ?
3) How do I find what the correct carpet color is ? (like a medium brown)
4) Who do you recommend to buy the seat covers/foam/carpet from ?
(best quality,reasonable pricing) ?
These are the seats I got from a 67 GTO.
Console is supposed to be from 68 Cutlass.
I really like Legendary for seat foam biscuits and seat covers. I believe the 1967 console is the same as the 1968-69 so you should be good there. Do you have a shifter for it yet? The 2 speed and 3 speed shifters look the same except for the detent, it has another notch for the 3 speed. John
I have owned several parchment interior 67 cars. the one you show is cutlass Supreme interior. If you order parchment bucket seat upholstery it is a different color than the bench seat color. It is a gold tint. I ordered off white and got the parchment color.
I used black carpet and dash and visors. I have seen it with black originally and brown originally. both correct.
I will post a few pictures. This is PUI brand after about 3 years of lots of use. They are good. I understand Legendary is better but do not know first hand.
Cutlass door panels are very different and are not full door panels in a convertible.
My 66 442 (Hardtop) is Autumn Bronze and has parchment interior... All the carpet areas are black with a black dash... The visors are also parchment... This is an original combination from the factory...
The car appears to be a Cutlass Supreme. The interior pattern is Cutlass Supreme not a Sport. A Sport Coupe is a post car but can be a Cutlass Supreme also. The plain Cutlass uses similar interior pattern as the Sport Coupe. My 442 has a Parchment interior or Champagne as called in 67. Your door panel lower carpet should indicate the carpet color used on the floor. Mine is a gold color not brown... Legendary is the place I recommend.

so 1 for Legendary.
Yes the shifter is for 3 sp...(I have turbo 350 trans)

Larry,
Now I'm really confused.
Are you saying I shouldn't order Parchment ?
Why would the color be different from bench to buckets ?
Just FYI...I'm not doing the whole interior,just the bucket seats and carpet

For some reason Oldsmobile used two different Parchment colors. if it has a bench seat originally it is an off white. But if it had bucket seats it is a off white with gold tint. (BOTH CALLED PARCHMENT)
I had to order M40 off white to get the right color. Went through this prior to ordering. PUI and Legendary will both send you samples free.
Sorry for the confusion. I was confused at first too but wanted the off white like your bench seat interior is. They offered it with the brownish gold carpet or black. When it has the brownish carpet it also had a brown/tan dash pad and when it has the black carpet it has a black dash pad and visors.
I see your car has the brownish/tan carpet so I would stick with that. it is a nice combination. You probably have brownish/tan seat belts too.
So the console should be painted to match the dash pad. seat backs and bottoms to match the seats.

Post the firewall trim tag info, that will answer exactly what the interior color should be.
The legendary covers are of a higher quality- however still get vinyl samples. Whatever brand covers you buy make sure you get American Cushion Industries (aci) buns. They are the most important part when redoing buckets so they feel right. Legendary sells them, national parts depot also sells them, as do other vendors- but be sure to ask when you are getting as some vendors sell both ACI and cheaper ones.
Hey, could I have your old useless bench seat? Mine has a little rip on the driver's side and it doesn't have the arm rest so maybe your's would look better in my Vista Cruiser? ....and could you maybe drive it up to Alberta for me? I'll gladly spring for beer and cook up some steaks ( AAA Alberta beef); you can even stay in our guest room for a few nights.

Yes on the painting of the console and seats backs. Another note if the seat backs and bottom side trims are in decent shape do not sand them down. They have a layer on them that provides the texture finish to look like the vinyl. Clean them very well and that includes using white vinegar. I used krylon paint and bought a few colors till I found a good match to the seat fabric. Good old Lowes was my source for that.
As for the column paint, if you go to oldsmobility.com they have a chart with paint codes for the different interior colors. 984-C if for Champagne (parchment) I very much like the interior combination you have. My folks bought a 67 442 new and it had the exact interior you have only it was a 4 speed. Your cars color code S is for Champagne. Theirs was the G gold. Both very nice.
The EX if I decode it correctly is for soft ray tinted glass and power windows.
Very nice set up. If mine had this seat set up my gal would say leave it. That way we could sit next to each other.
