I need a new front seat for my 49, not just run of the mill I need something cool, old and low. I am not opposed to buckets. I have a 91 leather split bench from a caddy 4 dr, its annoying me. I know you guys will have a good idea.

I found a set from Flat-Top but they are promised to Radshit.

There was a Texan who had a set as well, can't seem to remember who.....


Hold on whilst I do a search..........

1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. They have a killer 3 tone color combo and nice pleats. Chrome strips run along each side and across the top. It would look great in a merc!

I have 60's' T-bird bucket seats in my car and they are comfy and give me lots of headroom . BTW I need two more http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif anyone . . . ?

Hey Bill,

Great post!! I have a split leather bench seat out of a 79 Cougar and I need a change. I love the look of the 60's T-Birds. I was thinking about bucket seats out of a late model Chevy pickup. They are low back buckets and have that 60's look. The best thing is they should be alot more comfortable than the T-birds.

O/T What is the story behind your Dice tail lights? It was one of my high lights of the year seeing the dice frenched into the Mercs rear quarters.

Happy Trails,

Mick
