Q: Custom Trim Option
I am confused that my car has the custom option trim (554) but it only has standard interior.
A: The Custom Trim Option with custom seats for the 1968 Firebird was identified on the Firewall Trim Tag as Style 22667 (conv) -or- 22637 (coupe). (22467 and 22437 were Std. Interiors). According to the sales literature, the Custom Trim Option (code 554) included the following…..
-
Deluxe Wheel Discs
-
Deluxe Steering Wheel
-
Door and Quarter Trim (molded vinyl)
-
Vinyl and Weave pattern Seats
-
Roof Rail Mldgs
-
Wheel Opening Mldgs
-
Instrmt. Panel Grip (Grab Bar)
-
Pedal Trim
-
Dual Horns
There are other features that were apparently associated with the Custom Trim Option that were not so obvious such as the different (longer) window regulators. Some items have also been speculated to have been also included such as…
-
160 mph Speedo
-
“BIRD” Emblem on Glove Box Door
-
Custom (Deluxe) Seat Belts (brushed metal buckles w/GM button)
-
Small white “BIRD” etched onto fwd/lower corner of front side glass
-
Windshield ‘A’ pillar Mldgs (interior) ??
-
Wheel Trim Rings (when ordered w/Rally II wheel option)
All items in the Custom Trim Option could have been ordered individually on a 22467 (or 22437) car except the Deluxe Interior, 22667 (or 22637).
A: The body tag series number changed to reflect the custom trim option (Code 554) and had a different number for custom interior (26) or standard interior (24):
-
22437 std interior with custom trim option (coupe)
-
22467 “” (CONV)
-
22637 deluxe interior with custom trim option (coupe)
-
22667 “” (CONV)

Q: Custom Trim Option (Code 554)
My billing history indicates my 1968 came with custom trim. What was included with this option?
A: For the 1968 Firebird, the Custom Trim Option (554) included the following….
Custom Seat Covers (Morrokide and stitched knit vinyl)
Custom Molded Door and Quarter Trim Panels, Assist Bar (above Glovebox) Dual Horns, Deluxe Wheel Covers, Deluxe Steering Wheel, Custom Pedal Trim, Front & Rear Wheel Opening Moldings, Drip Rail Mldgs (Coupes), Windshield Pillar Garnish Mldg. There are some who have been saying (in error) that only those cars with the Custom Trim Option had the etched white ‘Bird’ on the front side glass; this is not so and has been proven by many original STANDARD trim Firebirds.
The RH sideview mirror was not a part of the Custom Trim Option.
Many owners upgraded or opted to delete certain things beyond the Custom Trim Option (wheel opening mldgs, wheel covers, steering wheel). Additionally, all of the components of the Custom Trim Option could be ordered separately on a Standard Trim car except for the Custom Seats and Trim Panels and Assist Bar
