Directly? 1997 to 2005 IIRC - all those with the same body as the 1999.

There's another forum where some guys made some Cadillac Caterra GTS (?sp) seats fit, complete with the heaters (!!!)

Depends, also, on how much work you want to do - almost anything can be MADE to fit, but the Gen 5 N body fits right in, I think the Alero and the same-year Grand Ams either fit, or fit by swapping tracks underneath, and I'm sure that other years will either swap tracks, or take a bit of sheet metal work to make fit.

But the Gen 5 N body will bolt right in.

When you're at the junk yard tell them what you need and they can look it up to see what years are compatible. A truly invaluable service!

Thanks, I will do that.

Do be aware, however, that the Hollander would typically list things like "Only 1998 and 1999" because the style of the seat changed, whereas ANY of the Gen 5 N body seats bolt right up (so what if it said "Oldsmobile" on it in stitching?)

It never listed the Calais as a swap for a Cavalier, but those leather Calais seats fit nicely in the Cavalier (since they were the same car!) and boy did they ride nice!

So be aware there's others "bolt in and fit" besides what the Hollander will list.

Thanks again Ralph.

Thanks again Ralph.

I had a thought.

If they list the seat tracks, see what cars use the same seat tracks.

That would help work around the "But it's for an Olds, it's not for a Chevy!" problem
