padgett Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) And then there was the 1910 Buick model 10 or was that before GM existed ? No, GM was founded in 1908 and Buick was part.

Chevrolet did not offer any special order interior for Chevrolet in 59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The '60 Cadillac Biarritz had buckets. Those seats are worth a small fortune to restorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
