I THINK these are Olds?????

The blue stuff is some kind of cover, the orig is the white. It has an embroidered pattern on the headrest.

I agree with olds. They used those and swivels through the years.

Those don't look like the '77 cutlass buckets I have.  Maybe a different year?

There's a 77 442 on ebay with some similar, but the 70's camaros look similar too.

Pontiac used these same style seats with those molded backs on Grand Ams/Lemans, too.

I'm guessing GM used the frame for a wide variety of car but changed up the foam and upholstery? Saw a few pics of 80-81 camaros and firebirds with similar high back look.

The embroidered headrest is what I can't find on anything else. Seems too 70's tacky/fancy for a Chevy.

I know the cutlas had embroidery on them. Maybe a cadi or buick?

The headrest area is narrower also.  I'll try to get a picture of mine posted up.  From a '77 cutlass salon

Looks like the same frame with different foam and upholstery.

I'll get a pic up of the embroidery.

Sorry for the delay but here are what g3 cutlass (non swivel) buckets look like.  They were from a '76/'77 (I don't remember which) salon.

No delay my man. I appreciate the effort.

I've seen some g body seats that look kinda like that. I suppose that GM used that frame in a bunch of cars from the mid-70's into the 80's.
