(Preview)
Thanks to Roger, I now have a B Body 4 way power bucket seat assembly to play with! Date code 11 - 65 B. 1966 big car? A good starting point for a restoration, and so far I've gotten the actuators and cables cleaned and greased. I have the Trans cleaned and lubed. Like in my previous 6 way power seat post, a...

66 B body recliner passenger bucket seat
(

(Preview)
A pictorial for those who have never seen the optional 66 reclining passenger seat. In many years of hunting for rare options for these cars, I would say this is one of the rarest I've found (or mostly NOT found!) I removed one from my parts car the other night and dismantled it in preparation to send it to...

66 - 67 SS console insert question.
(Preview)
I'd like to re do the woodgrain panels on my 66 console I got from Carl, and I see that there is replacement brushed stainless inserts available a-la 67 Impala SS and CP 2+2, Grande. Just curious as to how they are applied? Do I pull up the woodgrain inserts first, or do the new panels sit right on top? The or...

67 Strato Bench option code tag
(Preview)
My Strato Bench is at the upholstery shop. It's from a 67 Caprice but I'm changing it to a 66 style with no seat back latches. Anyway, when the upholsterer took the seat back off, this was inside. Would have been a nice car! I got the seat from Cheviac. He may see this and chime in, maybe he still has the car. I...

65-66 Grand Prix (USA) tilt into 66 Grande Parisienne
(Preview)
For years, and I mean years, I've had this tilt thinking some day maybe I'll have a Grande Parisienne again. So of course 2 years ago when I got my black car I figured I'm set, I have a tilt for it. Then guys on here started talking that the US tilts don't fit Canadian cars....... Today was the day, it's been n...

Question about a 67 console car dash.
(Preview)
I'm wondering about the dash on a 67 car with console. In particular, the block off for the shift indicator above the column. Is it added in over the original column shift indicator opening? Or is the console car a different dash bezel? Here's a console dash, what is over the indicator, a wood grained a...

LED lighting for the dash panel.

HIi: When my car was at the shop getting the Crate 350 I asked about checking into the dash lighting. I at one point had the blue led bulbs put into the sockets for each light on the dash and was getting tired of poor lighting. ((Colour of the car is blue)) I asked about putting in the clear LED bulbs whil...

66 B body trunk mat

Does someone have a trunk mat from a 66 Parisienne or GP that they know to be original? If so, can I get a picture posted so I can see what pattern it is? It's been so long I forget how it looks.

SEM Interior plastic/vinyl paint. Colour Question.

Anyone use the SEM system for re-colouring interior parts? What do I need to know for doing hard plastic parts, re; a console body? And more specifically, can anyone possibly tell me the stock SEM colour code that I would need to best match a 67 Impala/Parisienne medium blue interior? Say the colour f...

67-68 Bonneville column into a Parisienne?

Mark and I have been discussing columns and we are both curious if anyone has actually installed an American Pontiac column (67-68 B body) into a Canadian car? I am betting it would fit but a guess is not good enough!

1967 Grande Parisienne 2dr. Did they come with cloth buckets?
(Preview)
Another question for the experts.. Did the 67 Console Grande come with cloth buckets? Could be wrong, but it appears they were sold strictly with vinyl seats, the same seats as the 67 2+2. I've seen the USA GP with cloth, but am yet to see the CP with cloth. My idea was to obtain a pair of 67 cloth buckets, an...

Howdy guys, as some of you may know Dale at NOS was checking into the possibility of obtaining repro covers for these particular buckets as I think they were one year only, one model pattern and there currently isn't anything correct out there. He asked me if I would have any idea what the market was...

Power windows driver's control
(Preview)
My dad had a 67 Parisienne convertible with power windows. Apart from the usual 4-button control mounted on the panel door, there was another standalone button for the driver's window as well. In other words, there were 2 switches on the same door for the same window. My car has no such 2nd button and I'...

Installing the head liner in the 66 Grande

Hi guys I am making progress on the car but I have decided that I really need to tackle the job I have been kind of putting off for months as I have never done one before and am kind of nervous about it. Only one chance to get it right but once I get it done I can quickly finish the interior and get it on the road!...
