Does your car use seat rails that are bolted to the floor with a stud on
the front and a hole in the rear? If so, the yes it will fit.

They changed the rear divider between trunk and interior with the
introduction of the folddown top. The divider is more slanted back, so in
effect a taller piece. But I am sure you could recover that piece
yourself.
The center panel above the tunnel in front is not as tall on later cars
because they came with a radio console behind which there is no panel.
The other panels would PROBABLY fit.
