Just wondering. The parents just said they'd spring the money for seat covers (man oh man I hope I can get red) and I was just wondering if they made some back then and if the company that makes the reproductions now plans on making any. Thanks.

1987 was the only year that Carmine (red) was an interior color option for the GTA, and no, it was not available in leather.... only Pallex cloth.

If the repro company that Atlanta Buick Specialties is working with can't get together at least 20 pre-orders, there won't be any seat covers made at all, from what I gather. Go here to find out more: www.atlantabuick.com

Sorry....

NO RED LEATHER was offered in the GTA
