Nice ride. I've been looking for my next $500 cruiser, but they are becoming fewer and farther between. The day I got my driver's license I bought a 62 Belair for $250. Sure wish I had that car now.

I just found this three year old thread and I'm curious what happened?
Did Bruce buy that 4 door, got the seat back out of it and did Matt eventually buy the car and got that rally trip with the car?

Speaking of 4 doors and seat backs, does anyone know if the fold down center armrest was available on regular Bonneville 4 doors?
I've seen them in 4D Broughams, and in coupes and convertibles of course, but I can't recall if I've ever seen them in a 4D Bonneville.
Would like to have it in my recently bought 4 door that has the front armrest but no rear. Picture of my interior:

This picture from the 1966 Prestige brochure indicates the seat with armrest (they called it the 'profile back bench seat with standing center armrest') was available on Bonnevilles: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/stati...estige-13.html

However, if you go to the last couple pages of that brochure it seems to indicate that seat was only available on the Brougham and Grand Prix. So, who knows - the brochures didn't always agree 100% with what was actually available.

Oh, my mistake. I meant to ask if the fold down armrest was available in the rear seat. In the front I already got one

I have seen them in front and/or rear on 66's.

I did not buy the car.

...and the rally didn't happen for me in this DarkSider.
