Steve's Camaro Parts - 1967 Camaro Styling History - (Interior)


The interior styling of the car was developed with the exterior, and carries the sports theme also.

Vinyl trimmed bucket front seats, in a choice of four colors, were standard with the rear bench unit simulting the front bucket apperance.

The Camaro instrument panel recesses instruments and tell-tale lights in two elliptical bezels.  The high beam indicator is located between the bezels.  Control knobs, located high on the insturment cluster, feature new "mushroom" type styling.  heater controls, radio provision and ash tray are centrally located on the instrument panel, and are mounted in a black finished trip plate that is framed by a bright metal molding.  Heater controls are the horizontal sliding type.  A stowage compartment is located at the right side of the instrument panel.

The Custom Interior Opotion provides seven all-vinyl deluxe interiors and special trip appointments at extra cost for the Camaro.  The Strato-Bucket front seats have a two-tone treatment effected by a band of color framing embossed seat and backrest panels.  The rear bench seat contiunes the front seat  pattern, giving a bucket seat appearance.

Door trim panels feature a molded vinyl panel with integral armrests and a carpet kick panel.  Door handles are mounted in a depression in the armrest and door lock buttons are bright.  Circular lights mounted in the "sail" panel, or roof rear quarter, provide interior lighting for the sport coupe. For the convertible, lights are mounted under the instrument panel.  In addition, the Sport Coupe receives rear seat armrests with ash trays.  A special deluxe styled oval steering wheel, molded luggage compartment mat an dhood sound insulation complete the deluxe option.

An optional front bench featuring bucket styled backrests and a fold down center armrest is also available.  A fold down rear seat back, which provides an additional carpeted stowage area, is available as optional equiopment for both the Camaro Sport Coupe and Convertible.
