I am searching for a 2-way power seat switch for the 1959, 1960, 1961 bucket seats that had the metal trim on the base. I believe that the 2-way switch used for those buckets may have been identical to the switch used for 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969 bench seats equipped with the 2-way power seat.
The first photo is the bucket seat that I have which is missing the 2-way switch. The second photo is from an eBay auction where they believe the seat trim is from a 1966-69 GM car. The third photo is a pic I found with a switch installed.
What year exactly are YOU looking for? 1959-1960 does not have a bucket seat to begin with
I am not familiar with the 59 and 60 Oldsmobiles; however, I thought that the same 59-61 bucket seat was available as an option in the Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile of those years (below you will see two photos from 1960 Oldsmobiles with the bucket seat). The same bucket seat was also used in the 1961 Starfire (see third pic below); however, as you can see in that pic, the switch mechanism is different.
My goal is to find the 2-way power seat switch that will work with the bucket seat that I have. The switch would have been in the metal seat base as shown in the pics of my original posting. As I said, it could be from a 1959-61 bucket application or alternatively from a 1966-69 bench seat application where the 2-way power switch was mounted in the metal base as shown in the pic in the original posting. I don't care from what year it comes from as long as it fits the seat base that I have.

I have a 72 Cutlass Wagon with a power bench. I will be taking it out and I can sell you the switch if you still need it. I can get a pic of it this weekend.

Two Way Switch -- Group 11.558 Part Number 7612120
As a follow-up to my old post, I found the specific switch that I was looking for. It is the two-way switch that was used in some of the 1965-67 Oldsmobiles. It is Group 11.558 Part Number 7612120. It works perfectly in the 1958-1961 Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiacs that offered the bucket seat option and had the control on the seat side.
