Recently saw a picture of a 1970 catalina convertible with a speaker in the middle of the rear seat back. Did not think this was an option for my 1970 Parisienne convertible as i have not seen one in the 46 years I have had the car! The parts book is also vague so if anyone knows let me know. Maybe this guy installed an older seat but i like mine to be all original. Thanks Phil
Yes, he's installed an earlier seat. 1967 still had the speaker in the top middle of the seat, not sure about 1968. Here's the proper rear speaker for 1969 & 1970:
Thanks i have never seen this set up and it looks great i could find some panels and get them changed to my colour green but would need to find grilles, Thanks again Phil
The cheapening of GM interiors from the mid 60's to the early 70's was extreme. I look at the interior of my 69 2+2 with the cheapo jiggly plastic dash bezel and appliques compared to say a 65-66 with solid chromed metal and beautiful detailing is disheartening. Took GM over 40 years to fully recover from the "tupperware" era. The comparison of the 69-70 versus the 67 rear speakers in this thread visualize the decline beautifully.

If you can get a chance, show us the interior colour.
Mark has entrusted me to hold on to some parts for future use.
I believe I have a dark green 1969 right rear panel with speaker grill
sorry took so long! I would be interested in your speaker and interior parts and will send you a pic of the colour, Also not sure but was there only the single rear speaker on the right side, May take a few days and thanks Phil
