The black fabric that was originally on a '69 Thunderbird electric Bucket back, Bench botton seat I traded my Fawn '68 seat for in 1977, had that same clear stuff. It's not original,

It sure was an interesting thread. I'm still mixed up about it being a CST with fawn interior paint. This thread ain't over yet! :D

I thought CSTs had exterior color like the following years. Guess I remembered wrong.

My brother worked at Three-Way Chevrolet in Bakersfield in the early/mid seventies. He remembers switching out wheels, hubcaps, bumpers and even seats/carpet on cars and trucks as directed by the sales department.

Times were different back then, economy was in the tank. If it happened there, it happened most everywhere. I never say never.

Ok, so no luck on the tag, I looked and looked for it too . . . I have a couple photos of the seat sort of up close to show the vinyl pattern. The bench also has a build sheet underneath - I left that one there, the build sheet that I found behind the seat back I removed and have in my truck records. I can tell the truck had the same color interior as exterior at one point, but it looks to have been sprayed over with the fawn. It "could" have been a PO, but as far as I know, this would not have been the case. There is just too much that has been painted "correctly," if you will, that it isn't a fly by night aerosol can job - at least it sure doesn't appear to be to me. Can anyone tell me if this seat pattern looks correct for a 67? Don't pay attention the the seat cover on the backrest - that's not an actual seat pattern. Also to verify a question from above, I do have a row of standard head screws in the top of the panel just behind the seat that appear to have possibly been used for carpet in the past I assume - they are to evenly done and all the same screw (and old looking) for someone to have added them. Plus, they are currently doing nothing as there is no rear wall carpet today. Thanks all -
