[SCG] 1961 Corvair cloth bucket seats on ebay

[Bill Hubbell]

Wade, I have a question for you and the group.  

The ad says these seats fit "1960-1961 Corvair, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Buick, GTO, 442, Chevelle".  Is this correct?  Did GM use the same bucket seats for all these cars?

Looking closely at the photos posted on the ad site, it does appear that the mounts are non-Corvair - look at the front of the mounting brackets in the 3rd and 4th photos.  Also, look at the top of the chrome trim in the 7th and 8th photos - it doesn't look right for Corvair.  Also, the seat adjuster lever in the 5th photo does not look like a Corvair adjuster.

Thanks to Dave Newell for bringing this to my attention.  There is a pair of '61 Monza bucket seats with the cloth inserts for sale on eBay.  They appear to be in decent condition considering how old they are.  The owner told me that he got them in a storage unit, so he doesn't know anything about the car they came out of.  They are in Edmonds, Washington for local pick up only.  See link below.
