Fabric slip over seat covers for 1966 delta 88

Anyone know of a place that sells fabric slip on seat covers that will fit my 1966 delta 88.Looking for a front with a split with arm rest and rear bench.Hoping to find something reasonably priced to use until I can fit reupholstering into my budget one day!!

There was a discussion about this a few weeks ago and I didn't find any other than for the back seats of trucks.

Let me rephrase, I had not found and inexpensive slip on seat cover. For the price of the others including the ones you mention, you can almost reupholster the seat.

LOL!!!Yes that's what I'm up against too!!my seats aren't really in bad shape considering the age but......the previous and origional owner used duct tape years ago at the top of the drivers seat where the seam started to come apart instead of getting it stitched .......so I kinda want to cover the unsightly duct tape inexpensively for now!!Ive emailed a few places about covers so if I find something ill let you know,you let me know if you find something!!

The duct tape can be removed, then you need to clean of the adhesive and possibly get it stitched. Goo gone, wd40, and other products will take the glue off of vinyl.

I wish it was only on the vinyl,it's on the top of the fabric too.It was barn stored for over 20 years so its been there a long time and has made a mess of the fabric!!

Well, well, well... I'd just bite the bullet and either buy new seat covers, or go to an upholstery shop and let them make you some.

Ebay:

If you have a split bench with arm rest look on ebay under Cadillac deville seat cover.There is a seller with a bunch for sale for $2.60 brand new in the box!!I Ordered some,at that price how could I refuse!!!The bottom bench on my 1966 olds delta 88 is a little bit longer but I just installed them and they do stretch a bit and look pretty good,the covers for the drivers and passenger backs of the seat fit pretty good,have cutouts for the head rests are there but there is a tie and I just tied them shut because I don't have head rests!!I ordered the herring bone pattern,it's a tan pattern.My interior is light green but they go with it pretty good!!!
