    Early Headrest Question

    Most of the references (old pictures, Johnson, et al) state or show that the 356 head rest was the only one available for the ‘67S.

    I have seen a number of pictures of ‘67esses with the later head rest found on the 68.

    Is there a cut off date (approximate)?

    My ’67 was build on or around 09\19\66 according to COA and was optioned with “2 headrests”. Which would be correct, or are they interchangeable?

    along those same lines, did 67 sport seats ever come with the 356 type headrests?

    I don't remember where/when I heard this, but do all 68 seat frames have the mounts for the later-style headrests, or was it a transition year with earlier cars having the 356-style and later cars with the later-style? Can you identify which by feeling for the mounts through the seat covers?
