I was just checking out the seat pattern on the upholstery and I noticed something interesting. The Grande Parisienne seats and pattern are the same as the U.S. Bonneville, except where there are pleats on the U.S seat, it is smooth on the Canadian seats, and vise-versa. The seat medallions are on the pleats in Canada, on the smooth in the U.S.  Check out the picture   link: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Pontiac/1967%20Pontiac/1967%20Pontiac%20Full%20Line%20Brochure-01/1967%20Pontiac%20Full%20Line-10-11.jpg

The Grande Parisienne used a slightly modified Bonneville pattern on the seats, and Chevrolet Caprice door panels (though Parchment was not offered on the Caprice).  

The Canadian Parisienne 2+2 also shared the same seats & seat upholstery with the Grande Parisienne, but used Bonneville door panels. The Parisienne also used the Bonneville door panels.

These seats, like stated, while close to the Impala SS, have different pleating and button shape. I think that pattern is unique to the 67 Parisienne and 2+2. But not the Grande.

Doesn't look right for a Impala, .....something different

 B Body Bucket seat cores interchange with A body , but the seat upholstery pattern varies of course . Here is a pic of the 69 Bucket cores from an Impala that are going into a Chevelle 

 

Well, my upholstery guy tells me that A & B body seats are the same. I have a pair of Strato buckets for sale for 6 months and had 3-4 Chevelle guys call and I tell them they are from a full size Chev and "They won't fit, they are wider"!

Lot of BS floating around on the net..
