Can anyone tell me what year these front seats are? The car is a 67, but I don't think the front seats are original. I think they are from a 64. There is a knob near the lower hinge that you can turn to adjust the seat back angle, but there is no locking lever of any kind for the seat back - they just fold forward.

Hopefully this picture shows enough detail for an ID. Thanks!

Front & rear NOS or used OEM door panels for a '67 in the original Gazelle color (dark tan/light brown).
Also looking for used white headliner pieces, both perforated and non-perforated.

Yeah I was going to say 63 frames with the later material covers. Let's see what some of the others say.

From the 1966 owner's manual.

    Weird angle, but yes, they look like 62-64 seat frames painted black to me…
