I bought the car with this in it, and it appears to match the original interior color quite well, so I never thought anything of it until I tried to remove and reinstall the rear bench seat.

It is super difficult to get back into place--It is so tight that it severely scuffs the sail panels, and is contacting the rear armrests when installed.

sorry I don't have a picture of that. also, this is the best photo I have right now as the car is located 2600 miles west of me at the moment.

If these are 65 chevelle seats, is this fit normal?

oh one more thing, the white part of the upholstery has a sort of paisley looking pattern on it.

Is there a website that has samples of original interiors? I looked at the catalogs like NPD, and OPG a while back, but didn't notice anything, maybe I missed it.
