Did they ever offer cloth bucket seat in a 67 GS?

    Does anybody make cloth covers?
    Does anybody make cloth rear bench covers?

    Only vinyl was offered in the 1967 GS.

    I always found this strange, why were all color not available in all body styles?
    Blue, Black, or Yellow in all body styles
    Dove and Aqua in hardtops and sedans only
    Red only in the convertibles

    I always thought odd that the cloth bench options available in Skylark weren't available in GS.

    Vinyl was thought to be “In” back then, cloth interiors were part of the “older” crowd.

    Plus figuring the owners were going to work on their cars, it was easier to keep clean.

    PS,
    How many of us remember seeing the “older people” with clear seat covers over their cloth interiors??? No respectable Muscle car owner would have ever done that to his car.

    Another thing I don't understand, the Skylark with deluxe interior had a fold-down armrest but a GS400 with the same deluxe interior pattern was only available with a standard bench (no fold-down armrest). My '67 GS convertible has a power bench seat and I sure wish it had the armrest.

    I would've liked to seen a Strato bench seat available on the GS, like on the Riv's.

    Hey BUQUICK, can you just put an armrest seat onto the power seat tracks?

    But to make it more confusing the Skylark was available with cloth seats.
    Is that correct gary?
    I had a 4 door no post wrecked sjylark parts car with dark red interior cloth seats i assume left the factory that way. So u could maybe order lark cloth covers for ur gs and only a hard-core buick guy would know it wasn't correct in a concours show

    I would think that would be possible but I don't know for sure.

    I think the Special & Special Deluxe were available with cloth seats in aqua, blue, black, and saddle while the Skylark could have blue, black, saddle, or maroon cloth seat. I think this is right, but I'd have to check my color and trim book to be certain.
