73 Delta 88 Royale Convertible Interior

Wondering if there are interior packages for 73 B body oldsmobiles.....I know that the top and some floor body pieces can be interchanges with Caprice/Impala Parts. What about seat covers and door panels? Having trouble finding much online. Were all GM bench seats the same pattern in 73? Any advice would help.

Only really bad seat is the front so worse cars i can take to a shop and have them do from scratch....

Thanks

Curt, the trim levels in 73 Delta also dictates the stitch and material. Here's an example of the 73 (probably what you have in the Delta Royale). My guess is you're probably going to have this custom done at a shop. BTW, what happened to the Buick vert?

Hi Curt, I think I can help here.
I'm doing a resto on the seats in my '73 Delta 88 Royale Hardtop and found this place in Springfield, MA.

Diane can do the original pattern for the seats as well as the stitching, buttons etc. All you need to give her is a sample of your seats and photos so they can match fabric, materials, colors etc. Not cheap but they use original patterns so almost guaranteed of the closest fit and style as the original covers. The Delta 88 vert seats are identical in shape, layout as the hardtop 88 Royale seats in '73.

Also, I just bought an original '73 Dealer Trim Combination book off Epay. It contains fabric samples, trim codes, vinyl roof samples, paint chips etc and was used to pick trim and color combinations for new car buyers for the '73 Oldsmobile's.

If you can hold on until it arrives here from across the pond, (should be in a week or two) I would be able to let you know exactly what the trim was on your '73 88 going off the trim code on the cowl, with codes for the colors and material used. Can even post up pics of the samples in the book.

Here are my seats that need recovering and the '73 Dealer Trim book,
