Cool Pictures for Interior Inspiration

I'm new to this forum so I don't know if this is allowed, but I wanted people to share the interior of their Oldsmobile (regardless of model, year, or condition). I have a 1973 Cutlass S with a terrible interior. The ceiling is falling, the bucket seats are shredded, there's major cracks in the dash, etc. Pretty much everything inside has to be replaced. I don't really know in which direction I want to take the interior, so I was hoping some of you could kindly show off your interiors for inspiration. It would be nice to see what the interior could look like, and I might steal some ideas along the way. Thank you for reading and sharing

Of course that's allowed. I don't think we have a thread for specifically showing off the interior of our Oldsmobiles.





Here's the interior of my 71 98. I had it redone by somebody local. Unless you want to do a concours restoration, I suggest getting an aftermarket interior kit to recover the seats in your car. Here are a few suppliers.

https://www.automotiveinteriors.com/default.asp

I've ordered from both of these suppliers. They have good customer service and quality products.

I went a little different direction since my interior was in the same condition as yours. You can start on 103 in the thread below for the finished product. Earlier in the thread there are pics of there are pics of the pieces in progress. https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...p-29116/page3/

'67 4-4-2 - Interior is original with exception of the carpet, Tach, and aftermarket 3 gauge cluster under the dash. Pretty simple . . . but what's under the hood ain't!

Very nice interior. I'm definitely going with cloth seats since it gets unbearably hot in Phoenix, and there's nothing worse than having to sit in a burning leather chair while you wait for your A/C to ramp up. For your speakers, did you use an amplifier or does your stereo supply enough power for all 10?

The stereo supplies the dash tweeters and 4 door/sidepannel speakers. A trunk mounted amp supplies the package tray 6x9s and 10" woofers.
It gets hot here in MO too. Btw, I did my own, if you can salvage the old covers it will make it easier/cheaper for an upholstery shop to use as a pattern.

Trying to update my interior and make a little nicer.

My old door panel. Something somebody custom did with speaker hole.

A set of door panels bought from a member close to me.

The panel cleaned, painted and installed. I like the way it turned out. Now I need to do the rest of the panels. Hopefully some inspiration for someone.
