Default 78 Seats

I have the split at your waist seats (for lack of better explanation) in my 78 L48. They are red leather and red Velour. Are these the correct style of seats or should they have the seats that are split at mid-back?

As always thanks for the input!

All 78s had regular high back bucket seats except the Pace Cars. Pace Cars got the slpit back buckets which then went into all 79-82 cars.

78 and prior are the highback bucket, hinged at the base of the backrest Not sure about the Pace Car though, some reason I think its the clamshell

79+ are the clamshell style.

Bahhhh....EM beat me to it.

Your car should have seat like the top photo to be "correct". All PC had the seats like the lower photo
Im unsure if you could get the leather/cloth combo in 78.
