I know that the "strato-bench" (bench bottom w/ bucket-style back and an armrest in the center) was an option in various Oldsmobile models starting around 1966, and was standard in Olds convertibles at least up until 1972. I don't think it was offered in the Malibu (or any other GM A-body), but the Cutlass & Malibu are both A-body cars. The seats would bolt right into each other, so it would be an easy swap. Lots of people prefer the strato-bench over the conventional bench. I have a strato bench in my 68 Olds convertible.
BTW, this is not to be confused with "strato-buckets" which were really just regular buckets. I guess the "strato" part just sounded good.

Kaya Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 5:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Split front bench seats My '64 Malibu convertible (in resto) has what appears to be original split front bench seats (I say original because the faded color matches the rear seat color). However, my bench seat has a fold down arm rest in the middle. Was this an option for '64's or was the bench seat replaced at some time in this cars past?
