<VV> 66 Corvair headrests

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Hey guys,
Those are often referred to as the "Fitch headrests", since that's the type  
he used to install in the Sprints when someone ordered them... some of the 
more  knowledgeable Fitch guys may want to chime in there with more info. I saw a 
set  of those go on eBay for over $500, but they were sold as being for a  
356/911...
I always called them the "paper towel roll" headrests, since that's about  
the size of it... they were also available through JC Whitney and such "back in  
the day".
The brackets screw straight into the back of the seat...
Later,
Lonzo

The  headrests pictured are aftermarket, not OEM. '66 headrests still fit 
down  inside the seat, but are a different shape and size than the later 
model  headrests. But you are correct that they are  rare.
