<VV> 65 Chevelle bucket seats.

[Sethracer at aol.com]

In 1966, GM changed over the intermediates (A-bodies -  Chevelle/LeMans) to 
the "Astro" bucket seats. More of an actual bucket,  with a hard shell back 
and some bit of side bolsters. The Corvair stayed the  same in 1966, then 
changed to a smaller-scale version of the Astro in 1967. This  is the seat 
they shared with the Camaro and Firebird through 1969. GM used the  Astros in 
slightly modified forms well into the 70's.

I have a  '66 GTO, and the seats for that look like they are shaped just
like '66  Corvair buckets (and '65 for that matter). The vinyl is different
though,  but that is true from year to year even when the seats themselves
were the  same.
