    I get confused on these, too......
    Here's what the front of a '73 looks like:

    "If the front seat is not factory, it was not transplanted from an Electra as the power seat control was on the door armrest for Electras - see the brochure photo."

    This is true for the Electra 225 Custom and Limited...the base Electra 225 had the plastic door panels and the power seat controls was on the side of the seat.

    3rd seat, power windows and wood-grain trim and it would be all set. :)

    I normally also like wood grain but this car looks great in the solid cream color with the brown vinyl roof. I don't think I could live without power windows though. I know I'd be reaching over to crank down the passenger window and drive right into the curb!

    The only thing I noticed from the drivers side picture is that maybe the vinyl top is lifting on the top of the pillar behind the rear door? Hopefully not and it's just the picture. I believe that's where the roof is factory welded. 914973842.jpg

    Matching front seat would only add about a grand. If the rest of the car is solid, not a bad car for 11k is it?
