What years of the A bodies had the swivel buckets with the removable/reversible seat cushions?

Found a set in a quonset hut in a local junkyard for 100, but he doesn't remember which car/year they came out of, I'm leaning toward a hurst cutlass but not sure

Yeah, they looked kinda neat. The bottom and rear panels are attached via bungee cords and have a velour on one side and vinyl/leather in the other. No luck finding replacement seat covers as of yet.

In a 75 Hurst Olds, seems no-one makes upholstery kits for these, at least thats what alot are saying on the different olds boards out there.

LOL No kidding, went and got an estimate today, cost more than what I paid for both of my lagunas combined!

2335.99 for 2 buckets! Laughing I think I'll shop around some more!

Oh well, I can probably recoup my investment by selling the swivel mechanisms to some of the low-rider guys around here, they think swivel buckets are the bees knees!
