Default Question about interiors...

Quick question....

I was wondering do Bonnevilles come with a front bench seat or buckets? And just to be sure, they do interchange with a '97 Grand Prix'* seats?


Thanks for your time, ahead of time

Most Bonnys have buckets. Only the very most stripped ones have bench. SSE and SSEi'* are bucket only as is my Olds LSS.

92-99 Bonnevilles have the best buckets of any Pontiac produced during those years, bar none. Whether they can be made to fit a GP is more a matter of asking yourself how good of a fabricator you are. I believe the seat rails are different. Possible, yes. Bolt-up, probably not. You also have to take into account that most Bonneville seats you'd want in your GP don't have seat-mounted controls. They're in the center console. There are also other devices you need, the compressor for the lumbar functions (3 chambers, plus side bolsters), and the 'black box' for all the other functions.

Thanks... Sooo I'm assuming a leather bench seat would be out of the question right?

Not out of the question, but fairly uncommon. I've only seen one.

So you're saying you wouldn't want one of the 6-way power leather seats? I happen to think they are mighty comfy. And probably a lot cheaper.
