Holy rare interior combo Batman!
Got any more pictures of those rare factory Legend/Dillion seat covers?
(I forgot the package name but they had some funky designs in 78-80)
The options manual I have here shows only the Broughams having the special S4/3C Trim level with this style of seats.
The manual be wrong but a Calais could have been special ordered with this option.
Does the first 4 digits of your VIN have a 3K47 or 3M47?
Regardless very nice car 8)
Lemme go snap a few pics, and all update once i get them up
Edit: The interior i beleive was previously black, but has fadded to blue as u can see in some of the pics, still in great condition tho.

Thanks, keep your project going and keep me updated! Im 17 also, so moneys coming in here and there, lost alot of hours at work, so its going to be a slow build...
Hey guys, i havnt been on this in awhile but figured i'd sign on check everything out, and share whats going on with my cutty, lets talk about the new problems with the cutty, car over heats, stearing colume is really loose, the rear end is about to go, still needs paint, a 78 header panel, and some finishing body work,.. but other then that its still drives awesome and still turns heads lol, last i was on was when i was talking about the accident i got into, well i fixed the fenders i wrecked with alot of hammering, and bondo, i recently picked up 2 front fenders in mint condition for free, score!! 
lol, some guy had then in his shed, and said i could have them if i wanted, i offered him a few bucks for it, but all he said was if u have use for them then take them cuz they r just taking up space here.. so once i find 78 headerpanel i can start redoing the front end,.. but plans for the car are, new exhaust system gunna go with the 3", gunna drop the front of my car slightly, give it that nice tilt, and put a new rear end with 3:42's or 3:73's, thinking about painting it black but i dont know yet, anyone have any pait idea's that would look good? i got the tan interior with black carpet, and soon going to put in a black headliner,.. i tinted the windows, and put a flip up touch screen dvd player in, here are some pics of my car that have been recently taken, and more will be posted soon!
just gave it a quick bath lol

Man that looks great so far......... That dash looks pretty much new..I know a guy that deals with olds cutlass cars. I will see if he has a '78 header panel laying around..We live in Livonia NY 14487 so I don't think the shipping would be too bad , that's if he has one. I'll check with him and let ya know.
