This video shows how to restore and reupholster original rear on a 1966 Caprice coupe. We are just two regular brothers (not professionals by any means) working trying to improve my brother’s 1966 Caprice at home in my basement. The seats will be the same as 1966-1970 Impala/Caprice. My brother and I installed new foam as well as seat upholstery. We struggled through some parts of the install but completed the job with nice results. The Upholstery was purchased through Hubbard's Impala parts and was made by PUI. The upholstery to over 6 months to arrive, after ordering it. We were very happy with the results. This was my second time installing seat upholstery. the first was my 1965 Impala SS. My brothers car is a factory bench seat/3 on the tree car. He bought a parts car with bucket seats, console, and a power glide. we are planning to convert his car over to being just like the parts car was from the factory. I hope this video will help others in their installation. I will also have a video that shows the rear seat upholstery installation. Thanks for watching.

It’s already scratched up, that’s why I use it. It’s over 20 years old.

That’s pretty normal for the covers. They are expensive

Hey man thanks for the video. Do you know if 66 bucket seat covers and buns will work on 67 bucket seat frames? Thanks in advance.

Hey I have a 69 impala and all I can find is front seat upholstery for a 2 door. I have a 4 door and I am looking for rear upholstery. U think the fronts would fit the back?

I would highly doubt a front would fit a back. They are very different

@ImpalaCadillacRestoModDIY my front one is a straight bench seat not split. I found covers for front and rear tho. About 800 plus shipping
