65 2dr skylark back seat
« on: June 25, 2009, 05:13:13 PM »
I've searched and haven't found what I'm looking for.  Which back seats were interchangable with the 2dr coupe skylark?  I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the conv. were smaller so that's out.  But what about the special or a 4dr? Thanks in advance.  Mike.

Mike,
The 2 door sedan is the longest . The hardtop is the next shortest and the convertable is the shortest.
I haven't owned a 4 door or wagon so I'm not sure if they would work . I would think that the 4 door and wagon would have rounded corners unlike the square corners of the sedan and coupe.

Only seat that will fit is one out of a 2dr. HT  4-dr. seats are rounded on the corners to allow easier access to the rear seat and are much longer.

To add to that, the seats out of a special 2-dr. would be a sedan/post car, which is a different seat.  The only car you could get in a 2dr. HT in '65 was the Skylark, so you have to find one out of either a Skylark or Skylark GS 2dr. HT.  The seat out of a '64 Skylark 2dr. HT is the same, just a different grain in the vinyl, but that doesn't matter if you are having it covered anyway.

Great info.  Now I know why I asked the question here, accurate info.  Thanks everyone.  Mike.                    P.S. Anyone live near Wisconsin that has a decent one to sell?
