    Looking at the head rests, I don't think they are right for a model year 1966 Riviera.
    For 1966 the bucket seat option came together with the "full-lenght console".

    Edit:

    In your other post I read that you own a model year 1968 Riviera.
    Here's a 1968 Riviera interior shot, showing head rests on a bench seat:

    I have a parts car with thoes type buckets and a console. My driver has different buckets and a console. The door panels are very different between the 2 also.

    ....Yes my Riv is a 68 and currently has a strato bench with column auto. I picked up a mint condition 67 center console and shifter with linkages off ebay some months ago, and have a set of A body front buckets which I am going to modify so that they fit the Riv floorpan. The reasons for my question re these white seats is that.... i like the look of them and would like to find out what they are off, so I could perhaps order the rear seat cover off someone over there in US such as legendary, or Fryer and then have the pattern copied by my upholstery guy here in Australia to do the front A body buckets...Hope that all makes sense.

    The seats are 66 Riv. The head rests are not correct as already stated. You can get the 66-67 repro headrests and mounting brackets if you are so inclined. OPGI supposedly has seat covers for the 66 but good luck if you buy them. They may be just fine but I personally have never saw a set in person so can't say for sure. OPGI is notorious for having Riv parts that don't fit. In your case returning something that isn't to your liking probably isn't an option.

    I do have a pic I took off an ebay add of a 66 that supposedly had OPGI seat covers. I can't vouch for the legitimacy but will share them with you if you like for reference if nothing else. Just PM me your email address.

    Randy,
    Looking at stuff like the steering wheel, it's indeed a model year 1970 Riviera.
