1969 sport fury headrest differences?

[The Goose]

I'll try to borrow one at the fall fling and see if it fits. My only worry would be if it got stuck in the seat and then I got stuck with it.

Cheep entry to a classy look, (and keep the bench ).

I love that car! Another ‘72 Imp is all I want now.

And 300 rag’s picture is of the correct, fixed position, so I’m not sure what it’s proving. Please enlighten me!

Well then our definition of adjustable is different.

Semantics, maybe, but there is a raised and lowered position, so it's not fixed.

Might as well throw the front view up. Enjoy

I've never seen that type flat against the seat. I've only ever seen it floating above the seat. Anybody have a pic of that ?

 

[The Goose]

I think that's why it looks so cool.

The difference: there is a notch for the against-seat position on the bench-type. There is no notch for the against-seat position on the bucket/type, as well as no notch in between. There is technically NOT a “lowered position”, by design. But I agree that it’s semantics.

You certainly won’t find any factory pics like that.

Also, it is a MFer to get the bucket-type down against the seat, while the bench-type goes there easily. Bottom Line: bucket-type is intended by designers to be fixed, above the seat.

 

[The Goose]

Well son of a gun. Man that looks weird, thanks I've never seen em pushed down like that. Crazy !!!

 

[The Goose]

Hey wait a minute. Mr 300rag you think that's a bench seat ??? They look kinda wide for the buckets. Awesome pic.

Here's another, in what appears to be a partially raised position.

Lol, that sure didn’t take long! I was obviously wrong about factory pics but we’ve established that the headrests are indeed moveable. I still believe that the designer intended them to be fixed, above the seat. Otherwise, why only one, unramped notch?

Well those are def buckets. The seats look wider in the other pic. You settled it for me those would look cool on a bench seat.

Btw, as for the factory pics of headrests in unstandard positions, I can only blame liberal 1960s production directors.

Kind of odd, but on the Dodge brochure it looks like the hardtop has them up, while convertible has them down (and yes, I know they are renderings and not photos).
