Title: 65 2dr skylark back seat
Post by: blacksleeper 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.

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.

Post by: Brian on July 02, 2009, 01:00:20 PM: 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.
