I have an interior that has seen better days in my '96 es 300. I was wondering if I could swap in the seats front/bench into my car from a '97 es 300.

Not a direct swap the bolt pattern is different. You could try putting the '97 seat bottom onto your frame, or put the upholstery onto your seat cushion. But it will not match your passenger seat either way, I'd try and find a direct match the 1996 models have better leather.

I thought Gen 3 and Gen 4 Camry platform vehicles had the same front seat bolt pattern? Perhaps you can browse the Camry forums for answers:

I know Gen 5 Camry is completely different...I tried.

I know someone that tried to put 1998 ES300 seats into a 1993 Camry the bolt pattern does not match. The platform is very similar but not the same. The 2ES seats are better anyway more padding and thicker leather.
