American-built 1962-64 Plymouth Fury models came only with a bench seat, the
type with a split back to permit people to get in and out of the back seat.
No split bench or 60/40 seats back in those days.  If you wanted bucket
seats, you bought a Sport Fury.

In Canada, the Fury also came with a bench seat, but the Sport Fury was
never offered in Canada prior to May 1964.   Thus from mid-1962, when
Plymouth also introduced a Sportsweep exterior trim, you could order a
Plymouth Fury with bucket seats.  The seats and Sportweep trim were taken
from the American Polara 500 which were also offered on the Canadian Dart
440.

The bucket seat option was again offered in 1963 on the Plymouth Fury and
Dodge 440 (no Polara in Canada) but this time the seats were from the
American Sport Fury,   And bucket seats were offered in the Canadian 1964
Plymouth Fury and Dodge Polara up to about April 1964, when production of
the Sport Fury and Polara 500 models began in Canada with introduction in
early May.   Unlike the American Sport Fury and Polara 500, the Canadian
models used Fury/Polara interior door panels, were series 'H' and not 'P',
and could be ordered with a slant six engine

The Canadian 1965 Sport Fury and Monaco were, once again, series 'H' and not
'P', could be ordered with a slant six engine, came in both hardtop and
convertible models and used American-style Sport Fury seats.  While the
Canadian Sport Fury used the same door panels as the American Sport Fury,
the Canadian Monaco shared interior door panels with the Polara 880
(Canadian Dodge equivalent of the Fury III) which were actually American
Custom 880 door panels.  No Canadian market Monaco had the 'wicker' trim
used on the American Monaco / Monaco 500

I'm curious, were 64 Fury's(not sport fury's) available with bucket seats
and console?  the Jo-han 1/25th plastic kits of 1964 were all were Fury's,
convert and 2dr hardtop, but had the bucket seat and console.  Not sport
Fury's.
The promotional models given away at the delaers were Fury's with  bench
seats.
