    Agreed, could be a great car, those models could be equipped with bucket seats and a center console correct?

    but with only that picture posted, who knows.

    Buckets and console shift were standard on the Holiday coupe.

    These are pretty neat. Could you get something similar to these in the period B-body Pontiacs, too?

    I know about the Buick Turbos, but am unsure about the Ponchos.

    I think so. I recall volunteering on a high school car wash fundraiser for the ASB, and a student's mom had a two or three-year-old full-size Poncho that was a floor-shift/semi-bucket seat 2-door with mucho options (and the interior was *BLACK* so it was like driving an oven).

    Yes, starting in 1979 you could get buckets and a console in a 2 door Bonneville through 1981.

    Here's how they looked in the '79 Bonneville - from the brochure:

    That interior does not photograph well. It looks like you'd be sitting on Chewbacca.

    Yeah it looks bad in photographs but it is the most comfortable vintage car seat I've ever been in.
