The headrests became standard in January 1968.  I ordered my '68 before the 
end of 1967 when the headrests were not standard, but they were added by Chevy 
because they became standard effective 1968.

Mike -

I know headrests weren't standard in '65, but I thought they probably 
were optional. For some reason, I thought that '67 was the year that all 
the safety equipment became standard, but I have NO confidence in that!

I do know I was in California at the time, and that in '66 they put the 
air-injection systems on Corvairs. That makes me think that '65s are 
BETTER than '66s - less useless smog @#%& (which is a different 
perception than others on the  VV-List). I think California was running 
ahead of the nation on smog equipment, but I would be surprised if there 
was a difference on optional headrests.
