I'm looking for any information on this seat material. I looked through many posts and google searches and can't find any information on this material. All signs point that this is the stock seats and interior. Does anyone have any idea about this interior?

Sorry, but its not original upholstery. The cloth is not a GM cloth design from the era, and the seat cover "STYLE" is not one that was used either.
The covers were custom made by a shop at some point in the cars history.
These seats themselves are most likely original to the car though. if the bench seat backs fold forward and have no locks, it is a 1966 seat for sure. (67+ seats had a seat back lock mechanism with a little lever on the lower back to release it)

Here are a few pics of an original 66 seat with OEM cloth inserts as an example of what the material would have looked like if they were originally cloth.

your firewall body tag will tell what the original interior combination was.

Send it to Ben and do it in all soft leather..

Hey Rambo.....thank you for your reply and info. After decoding the tag, turns out it's a late Fremont build with the 708 - light fawn renville cloth / imitation leather seats. That's an interesting find. Thank you again.

I think that this is the correct cloth

Hello Chaze....thank you for the reply. Can you please elaborate? I'm not familiar with SMS Fabrics. Going to the website, shows multiple options for 66 Chevelle's. Was this a dealer option?

The correct fawn cloth fabric for your car was factory installed. The pic of your current cloth is an aftermarket substitution.

SMS fabrics stocks many OEM classic fabrics and as I recall some ready made seat covers and headliners.

It's best to give them a call and request availability and samples.

There may be other suppliers that carry the correct cloth seat covers such as PUI, Legendary and Distinctive Interiors. Vendors for these suppliers include Summit, Jegs, Ecklers, SS396.com, Ground Up etc. which show pics of their offerings.

Thank you chaze. I sent SMS an email.

Thank you chaze. I sent SMS an email.

I have used SMS for a few interiors, and CARS is also a good source. I just joined a few minutes ago, thought I'd help support your search. John Sarena Showtime Chevys

When ordering from SMS, ask them plainly the eta, as they are EXTREMELY slow on fabrication orders...talking years, not weeks, not months. Material not sure. I did order a few yards of that '66 fabric in turquoise a few years back and they were fairly quick, but I'm local and purchase in person.

I appreciate everybody's help with this. Doug just replied from SMS and says he has it and is sending out a sample. Thanks cheveslakr, I will definitely stay on his butt.
