<VV> 69 Headrests

[Bill H.]

                                            B"H

At the start of the 1969 model year, headrests were a
"mandatory" $15.00 option.  All cars came with them
unless the RPO Headrest Delete was specified by the
customer when (s)he ordered the car new.

I think it was Bill Mitchell, one of the GM stylists
ordered his '69 with the headrest delete option.  I
believe the tops of the seats had caps where the
headrest posts were inserted into the seat cushion.

Effective January 1969, the headrest delete RPO was no
longer available.  Per Federal regs, all cars had to
come with them.

Hope this helps...Bill Hershkowitz 69 Monza 110 PG
