Need some more help.

Does the 69 rs only have the head rest that I would describe as flat and tall? Or did they also produce seats with a more round and short profile as well?

Thanks.

All 69s use the same style of head restraint.

Initially the adjusting brace was straight; around 11/68 the brace was modified with a bend to reposition the cushion farther forward.

My car is an 11A car and it has straight braces on the headrests.

The early 69's had a straight bar and the later ones had a bar that is curved slightly forward at the top. Hence, the headreat is a little more forward on the later cars. My 69 10A (69) has the curved bars. There is no difference in the size of the pad itself, just a slight shape difference.
