I have front bucket seats that need new buns and covers. I would like to buy OEM replacements if possible, since custom duplication is out of my budget. I looked for numbers & other things to get a clue. I found "Elyria" on 2 pieces of plastic trim. Maybe there is/was a manufacturer in Elyria? I took a bunch of pictures in hope that someone might recognize the seat. It's the passenger seat. It could have been reupholstered because the rear seat, door panels and headliner all have the same materials. Any help is much appreciated.

80s/90s Caravan? That's my guess. The plastic side panels make me think something Mopar from that era

Those seats are from a mid-80's Chevrolet Cavalier.
"Elyria" was the Fisher Body plant that molded the seat foam.
Here's a photo of a 1985 Cavalier convertible; note the recliner cover and handle are i

dentical to yours, as well as the headrest contours.

GREAT Information!! Thank you! I searched numbers from the trim parts and found some information that indicated 79-87 GM, maybe Camaro, etc., so this helps confirm. None of the seat images I found have fabric close to mine, so that tells me the seats have been re-upholstered with non-OEM. Thanks again for your efforts.

Yes, the seat frame might also have been common to the Pontiac Sunbird and the base Camaro, also possibly common with Grand Am/Skylark/Calais of the same vintage.

Yep; looks like another application.
I worked at Fisher Body/Inland/Delphi back then. There were many common parts across mutliple car lines.

Thank you for all the responses. I found several images of similar seats, none with the same upholstery, so I believe they were re-covered. I'll be saving pennies for a custom re-do

You will find that velour upholstery in any late 1980's JC Whitney Catalog.
I don't think anyone makes it anymore.
There are better materials available, and foam is not a problem.
