One from an 80s Cutlass will fit like it was made for it. Bucket seats from one will too, but you'll have to weld the mounting brackets for all of them to the floor. Unless car already has 60-40 split bench seat, then I think the seat brackets will work with the buckets.

Oldsmobile offered a Holiday 88 package on Delta coupes from 77-81 and those used the same console/buckets as Cutlass, and loads of Cutlasses had them.

After making a sport sedan, are ya? Olds made those too in the 70s- Cutlass Salons, available either 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan. Very underrated car. Most people didn't understand what they were. The original 73-74 cars were favorably compared to Mercedes for performance and handling.

Unsure of anything but a A/G Body (78-88) console...

The console in my Holiday is exactly the same as the ones used in the 78-88 Cutlass. Fits, bolts, and looks exactly like it was made for the car.

Advertisements and other sources have proven it to be the correct console for the car.

The seats are A/G body too. Right down to the brackets.

While we're into this- if you're gonna convert to floor shift, you need the shifter and the cable from the donor car, and you'll have to make a hole in the tunnel for the cable to go thru. Measure it's location carefully on the donor so you'll have something to go by. Remember that Cutlasses are shorter wheelbase than Deltas, so you should probably measure from the front of the car.

Cutlasses are probably the most common buckets/console G body cars, but you might find one in a Grand Prix or a Monte Carlo SS. The MC SS consoles tend to go for big money though, and seems I remember those GP consoles being kinda tall compared to the Olds piece.
