In 69 there were three leather options...
1...as a custom interior option for the Firebird in Gold only (it included all the normal features of the custom interior option but with leather instead of perforated vinyl seating)
2...as part of the Brougham option on Bonneville convertible only, offered in Gold or black (the brougham package also included cut pile carpet, power windows, specific door panels etc)
3...as a custom interior option on the GP offered in Gold, Black and Green (other features of the custom interior included puddle lights on the doors, cut pile carpet and molded sail panel trim etc)

The firebird leather seats matched the same pattern as the regular custom interior oprtion, the Brougham leather also followed the same pattern as the cloth brougham interiors on hardtops but the GP leather had a completely different pattern than the other GP seats.

In 69 all the leather colors were identical to the corresponding vinyl interiors but the 68 Firebird leather interior was not the same as any other 68 Firebird interior, similarly the 70 GP leather interior was also not the same as the vinyl gold interior color. interestingly both the 68 Firebird and 70 GP leather interiors seem to be identical to the 69 gold used on both vinyl and leather interiors.
