Re: Welcome new member - 1962 Plymouth Fury convertible

Yes, welcome Chip! Great to have you join the group of 1962 to 1965 Mopars, and of course the subset that loves the 
1962 Plymouths. :) 

Some 1962 Fury  models seemingly had bench seats like this link with the taller backrest for the driver, shown in a 
claimed original still with plastic people used to install to protect the seats back then...

and some,  like yours, used the fold down arm rest in the front bench seat with the even backrests. 

I don't know why the two styles. Was one front seat style a mid-year option? 

The 1962 Sport Fury had a dual color with bucket seats option, as Mark noted:

As for the 8.75 there is a paragraph about "SureGrip or peg leg rear end differential?" on the Tech Page.
