I repectfully disagree with this statement. I've seen the steel and padded in coupes. I think it was more to do with the new safety regulations that hit the books in the 69 model year. </div></div>

If that were true than they would ALL be padded going into 1970-72.

Donnie,

I have seen a few anomalies on Coupes, but never a Post Sedan.

Hi Guys,

I have never seen the non padded pillar pieces, can you post some pics of them? Must be tough/all business looking.

Ryan,
They look exactly the same. You almost cant tell a difference until u pick them up, well I cant anyhow. Im sure Dan can spot them from a 100 yards away.
I thought I had a pic of mine.

Mike,

I especially like the air bag in the rear spring. Get that Black Coupe finished so you can start on the 300 Deluxe [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I think it also could have been what they had on hand that day they assembled the cars.
Rick Pauley (Rixls6) has two post cars
1) red 300 dlx post - Padded
2) silver SS post - Steel

I`ve seen enough &quot;original&quot; Survivor Post Sedans to make my own opinions. What you decide to put in your Post Sedan you do what makes you happy.

Ricks Garnet Red Post Sedan is very original. Who`s to say that the previous owners of Ricks Cortez Silver Post Sedan did not change them out.....as they became very sun damaged and dry rotted very quickly. Trying to find a set of original padded ones that are not cracked is very difficult. They were very poorly constructed. These are the facts.

Did the later (70-72) A-body post sedans have steel generally?
