If the leather was “Corinthian” would the velour be Athena or Spartan?

The Olds Delta 88 Royale I owned during grad school had seats similar to these. Even though it lacked power, it rode like a grand ocean liner—big and incredibly comfortable.

I dig the 70s holdover look, but I suspect seats like that are in terrible shape at 30,000 miles.
You could never really clean them well and cloth seats stain so bad. The “Corinthian Leather” ones probably wore better.

My dad bought one and my mom kept it until the mid 90s I freaking loved that car .. I learned how to drive in that car and used the diamond like hood ornament as a guide to stay in the lane lol

A school friend of mine’s step-dad was a car dealer back in the ’80s and drove one of these for awhile. Awesome car and it was very comfortable. Kick-ass stereo too.
