Hi Jim.

Nice item there-I have no idea about it but it sure looks rare. I think this topic would go well in SUPERCAR/MUSCLECAR DISCUSSION or in the LOUNGE section. Since you aren't selling it,the post may be deleted by the administrators.

I believe one of these cushions was discussed here WAAAAAY back when. I think it was determined that the cushions were something that were used in conjunction with the "pace trucks" and utility vehicles provided at the track. The upholstery pattern matches the interior of a 69 era Chevy pickup. My guess is it was used for kneeling on for photo ops etc. Just a guess. I'm sure it's likely in a '69 GM merchandising catalog somewhere. Cool piece.

Of the few I've seen were colored Orange.
I think Charley still has his too?
