Anyone got pictures of a 1969 Mustang with a bench seat? I have a 69
Mustang I just bought and am interested in figuring out if the
upholstery is how the original looked. The current seat looks like a
"deluxe" seat that is often shown for the buckets, but my car tags
indicate it received a "standard" bench seat at build. So basically
does anyone know if the "standard" bench seat looks a lot like the
"deluxe" buckets or something weird like that? If someone already
replaced the upholstery they did it in 1970 or so because it's very
worn and old.
Pictures would be greatly appreciated. The parts catalogs I've found
show the buckets and how they looked but never the bench.....go figure
with only about 4500 of them made (standard + deluxe) in 1969.

Got no pictures and I had forgotten, but...IIRC.. the benches were indeed
carrying the 'deluxe' design... though it didnt look all that good in
person.

LOL yea it didn't look all that good to me either. I was almost hoping
it was a replacement bench and I'd find a better "standard" design.

The bench upholstery looked the same as the buckets of the same level.
It's from the Mustang Recognition Guide, circa (c)1981 my copy is from
aproximately 1987 or so...

Thank you also. My bench looks just like the white one in your
pictures. I'm thinking maybe the upholstery on the bench was the same
on both "standard" and "deluxe" and they made up the difference
elsewhere on the interior now. That's the only bench seat style I've
ever seen for '69s
