what's the proven winner for use in an A coupe, and for the rear seat of an A sedan?

I thought I heard 2nd row seat of a Caravan for a coupe, but fill me in on what everyone has used.

Thanks

We have used Ford escort back seats in several Model As. They are comfortable and mount easy. They are hinged on the bottom and back so you can get under the seat or behind it. The only downfall is they need to be peramnetly mounted, no tracks.

My father's RPU has one. The Model A sedan I built years ago had one in the back. Larry ran one while his buckets were getting uppolstered. My class project had one too.

Escort and Colt back seats. S-10 seats too. Oh yeah, school bus seats work great also.

1987 TBird buckets. Used the base for the passengers seat for both.

I narrowed an early-style S-10 bench seat 7-inches and chopped the back down 3-inches for my model A. Worked out pretty well. Still has the factory foam that I cut down, too.
