The Versailles includes a front Flight Bench seat as standard. Upholstered with a durable nylon knit fabric called Dorchester Cloth, which is napped and sheared for the look and feel of cashmere, and available in five colors. Three inch wide pleats give the interior a very plush look and feel. Genuine Leather covers the instrument panel crown, door arm rests, and steering wheel. A high gloss woodtone applique on the instrument panel adds an additional dimension of elegance to the interior.

Ultra-soft genuine Leather seating surfaces, available as an option with Flight Bench seats, are included with the Reclining Bucket Seat Group. A floor console is included with Bucket seats, and a floor-mounted transmission shift is another separate option. (Reclining Bucket Seat Group with floor shift is shown below right.)
