Has anyone on this board customized their car and add bucket seats and a console?

Back in the late 60s I did in my 1956 crown Victoria. Since I felt that was a mistake I have put it back original and I feel it looks a whole lot better by far! Here again the crowns interior looked good to begin with and I feel it's hard to beat what the factory did anyway.

Friend of mine restored his 56 Vicky & installed some type of GM bucket seats. For the console he used a mid 60's Falcon unit. End result was a good looking interior. The Falcon console fits in there like it was made for it. Only problem is finding a good one at a reasonable price.

I'm in the process of installing buckets out of a Chrysler Sebring convertible. Why? Because they have the 3-point seat belts built into the seat backs and they fold to allow passengers in and out of the back seat without strangling them. I'll try to post some pics when I get in done. I'll worry about a console after I get the seats in. Column shift so no real need for a console with a shifter opening.

What years will work? I have been looking into modifying the B pillar but really did not want to do that. Please post when you have a chance.

 This is the look I am going for. I have the parts but have just not got to that point.

I installed a set of '60 T-Bird seats in a '56 Vicky back in the late '60s. Worked ok. Did not use the console.
