Pretty sure those covers will need to be sewn up from scratch. Only the Cutlass/442 covers are reproduced.

Welcome to CO

Not familiar with your year of Olds but someone else will chime in with the information you need

Welcome, post some pic's when you get chance. A quality custom interior fabricator could probably reproduce most of it. Depending on what your after will directly reflect the cost.

Thanks for the replies.My thoughts were possibly Pontiac Grand Prix of the same year shared the same front bucket seats.I'll talk to local trim shop and see what they come up with.All who replied.Thanks.

Izzit this car?:

Just saw this ad today, thought it looked like a real nice car for the money, passenger fender issue aside. Especially if its in good mechanical shape.

Either way, good luck with it.

If it is that car, seems like a heck of a good price!

Absolutely, even more so if he got it for less than the asking price.

All the 62-65 GM B-body cars used the same seats, but reproduction Impala SS and Grand Prix covers will be different pattern and stitching.

Take it you have a Jetstar I and not a Jetstar 88? though I've seen J88 with buckets.
