Ordered Fusick catalog and it came today. Not really looking for anything right now, but it seems like there is more stuff for '66 and before and '68 and after. Case in point, Literature & Promotional Items. They have every year, but 1967.

Where can I get a good catalog with '67 CS/442 stuff in it?

Kind of shocked. What were you window shopping for?
I thought there would be more '67 stuff.

Not really looking for anything right now. But, always looking. You know what I mean?

No panel skins, fenders or bumpers. I see lots of them for '70-72 cars.

Even on here I see lots of stuff for other cars, but the '67 just does not pop up much.

Been looking for literature & promotional items, either original or repro, but you just don't seem to find it. I've found older stuff and newer stuff, but '67 is just not as common.

Well, the big redesigns were 68 and 73; they kind of define the eras.

66 was a also a new design year. I guess we should ask if there is less stuff available for the 64-65 years, since that would seem to make sense.

I'm glad I have a 67, because those two years are preferable to me over 64-65 and 68-69 aesthetically.

I've been trying to find part of bench seat frame for my 67 for 6 months now. I got one lead, but the dude keeps stalling. And, since it's the driver's side back frame, I kind of need it to save me horrible backaches.

I have to agree with you guys. Every time I go to do some thing to my '67 it seems that it is a custom order or you have to modify something else to make it work. I can't find seat covers for my upholstrey without spending almost 1500 to get my completely redone.

Other than the two parts cars I've disassembled, Ebay has been the best source for good, used '67 parts. I learned many years ago that if you see a good part for your car, even if you don't need it right now, buy it. Even if you don't use it, you can always sell it later.
Ten years ago, I picked up a NOS set of '67 Cutlass headlight bezels for $75. They are a lot harder to find now, and quite a bit more expensive.

'67 is slowly getting more stuff. Just a few years ago I couldn't even find inner/outer wheel housings for the rear. Now they have them. The best thing to do is keep pestering the parts companies about the parts you are looking for so that they know there is demand for them to be repop'd. Parts are hard to come by for sure.

BTW: if you need doors, let me know I've got 4 sets, only need 3 (hard top). 2 sets are less than the quality that they told me they were in so I'm going to get rid of them. I also have a quarter panel with slight rust but solid enough where it is needed.

Is there that much dif between a 66 & 67? Hood, headlight bezels,
upholstery design...what else?

I thought the two were basically the same

There's not much, but noone has anything for 66's either!

Fender extensions, automatic console (66 shared with earlier years), the misc trim obviously, but most of the rest is the same. I actually used some of the metal from my 442 project for my Cutlass when it was obvious the 442 was not going to be done in time for my wedding. Bought the Cutty a month and a half before hand and did a lot of work to it. The wiring harnesses interchange with exception of the front and rear light harnesses really. The front can be made to fit but the wires are just a tad to short.
