Nobody seems to offer anything close to the deluxe interior on a SeaBlu / Cumulus bus. Any idea why? What have ya'll used instead?

i think you have 2 options, hunt for good enough original stuff and fix it. or go with something that is readily available and does not hurt anybodies feelings, mesh grey

Supply and demand.

That's what surprises me...seems the majority of 66-67 Deluxes were SeaBlue. No?

Actually...if supply were high, I'd be able to get some. Seems demand is low and supply is non existent. I just thought demand for that interior combo would be higher, thinking it was pretty popular in 66 and 67. Guess not.

more like internet supply is low there could be high supply at swapmeets
you would be surprised at the stuff you find at swapmeets that you rarely see online for sell

Gotta take look at many sea blue buses- frankly, aero papyrus is not all that common. Closest available: West Coast Classic.

that is what i am thinking, every 65,66,67 i have seen or owned had a serviceable interior in it. Making the demand for somebody to make a replacement almost non-existent. finding it used is the key
