I was talking to a friend last night who was telling me about a rare 60/40 folding second row seat for a 66 Caprice station wagon. I didn't realize they had such a thing. 40 years ago I had a 67 Grande Parisienne wagon and I can't recall if it was a regular second row seat that folded entirely as one piece? Does anyone have any sales information for the 67 Grande Parisienne wagons, or have knowledge of them having a split seat in the second row? Thanks.

I cant speak for the fulsize cars, but in the A-bodies, the olds vistacruisers had them, but the wheelbase and floor pan was longer on those BOP versus the chevelle, in order to accomodate the split fold seat. chevelles thus never had the option of a split second seat.

Hmm, that's interesting. No option of different wheelbase for the full size, so I wonder...
One thing I've never thought to check is the loaded 65 Bonneville wagon Randy has in his wrecking yard. I pulled the power antenna and power windows out of it years ago but never knew or thought of looking at the second seat. I don't even know if that one is a 6 or 9 passenger.

Kind of hard to see in these photos, but this is a 66 Catalina that I once owned that the prior owner put a Bonneville interior into. You can see the middle row has the 60/40 split if you look closely.
It was a rare option but 62 Chevy wagons could be had with a 60/40 back seat.

second row split seat was an option on all fullsized and the stretched (the Vista cruiser and buick sport wagon) A body but not the regular A bodies in the 60's. I've only seen one in the flesh so they must have been extremely rare.
Looks like it was not offered on 69 Canadian Pontiac's (it's not in the 69 accessorizer) but it was on the US models... UPC A66, sales code 494, $36.86 US so it would be about $44-45 in Canada if offered.
