1968 Chevrolet Trim Combination Chart

Bench Seat ~ (model availability)	Bucket Seat ~ (model availability)
Many Chevelles were equipped with Buick interiors and are noted on the body plate with the Chevrolet trim number followed by the Buick trim number, e.g. 765-118, 765-158 & 765-168 black bench seat and 766-178 black bucket seat. Oldsmobile and Pontiac supplied seats as well with 765-980, 766-970 and even a 760-910 coded tag have been seen on Baltimore, Kansas City & Fremont built Chevelles with Oldsmobile alternative seats and 766-223 coded Pontiac seats. Generally these are found in April, May, & June time frames with the earliest found so far being 03E from Fremont (in a Malibu sport coupe) and the latest being 06B from Baltimore (in an Malibu sport coupe). See this page for more information and theories about these alternate interiors. El Camino body styles were just as susceptible to getting these alternative interiors as well as coupes and convertibles. A Concours optioned Malibu is likely to have a Buick or Olds interior as well but only one documented Concours optioned Chevelle has presented itself to date, and it has an Olds interior code. These Buick/Oldsmobile/Pontiac coded tags have been found on Baltimore, Kansas City, and Fremont Chevelles so far. Why Atlanta and Framingham were not affected is a good question. Anyone with an Atlanta or Framingham Chevelle with a Buick, Oldsmobile or Pontiac coded interior is encouraged to contact me.

* Anyone with a photo of these alternative/replacement interiors, please contact me. I'd like to add photos of these interiors to the website. Or if you have a trim tag with a different alternative/replacement interior code, I'd be interested in those as well.
