66 parisienne bench


Does anyone know if the parisienne shares a common front split bench cover with a more common car?  Catalina seems to be very similar? Not a restoration project just want to drive and enjoy.

Very interesting question, I'd never thought too much about his before, so I got out the Canadian Pontiac parts book, the US Pontiac parts book and the Chevy book.

I can't find any interchange between the 3 different models for 1966 Parisienne. 

Are you looking for a cover identical to original? Because if not as suggested I'm sure either Catalina or Impala will be close.

No I'm not doing a restoration, I wanna just not get foam everywhere lol. There was a thought of bucket seats but I kinda like throwing the arm up on the bench

Years ago bolted a parisienne solid bench seat into a bonniville. Had the same pattern upholstery, probably used the bonny tracks, cant remember, old guy.

A reputable interior shop should have catalogs showing the patterns. I remember looking at one for 1970 Parisienne, it was the same design as a 1970 Impala.
My 1970 Laurentian was the same as a 1970 Catalina.

 But the Parisienne bench didnt have an armrest? Only the Grande Parisienne with the Strato Bench had a folding armrest.

Oh that's OK, we all have those days. It's my vacation week next week and I will practically be living in the garage. I got lots of work to do before safety time in the spring!
