‘79 with floor shift question
New to this forum. I’ve searched this forum and the web for the answer to the question....what trim package would have had the floor shift, console with bucket seats or could you just order it with any? Any help with this will be appreciated.

Re: ‘79 with floor shift question
Bucket seats (both vinyl and cloth/vinyl) and console with floor shifter were available as an option on base-model cars but not available with Interior Luxury Group or in Town Landau and Heritage models
The bucket seat/console option was not available with automatic parking brake release (unless ordered with tilt steering column), and the floor shifter was not available with tilt steering wheel.
The Interior Decor Group was available with bucket seats/console, along with spit bench seats with a manual passenger recliner. With bucket seats the option of striped cloth was available, with door panel inserts using the same material, color-keyed seat belts, and carpet on lower door panels (unless white panels were used). Color combinations were numerous, I won't go into detail on those for now.
