Default Difference between standard and deluxe interiors on a 67 Firebird?

I am looking at various catalogues for parts. What is the difference between these interiors? If someone has a comparison chart/guide that would be great to. Thanks

I know the standard kit is a lot cheaper. I think the biggest difference is the door panels

There are several differences between a standard interior and a deluxe interior.

1- yes, door panels. but it's more than that. The door handles are different, too. I'm not sure if you can interchange the two or not (the inner door release mechanism is completely different in '68) as the standard panel has a removable arm rest, while the deluxe is integral to the panel.

2- Seat patterns.

3- Deluxe interiors have the addition of a grab bar on the dash and an emblem on the glove box door.

Most likely there are more differences, such as pattern designs, headliner, etc.

FYI there is also an interior "chrome package" which gave the A pillars and along the upper window top more chrome.

Attached is a pic of my '67 deluxe interior (before I ripped the car apart to rebuild). Note that the front seats are not correct. The third pic shows the optional chrome A pillar and along the top of the window.

Yeah, I'm not sure why the pics didn't show.

I also have pics of my car on photobucket here:
