    Just putting the back seat in my 49 Buick Super Sedanet, and I lost the clips that the back seat bottom snaps into. The ones that grab the seat bottom when you push the bottom back and down. Does anyone have a picture of the clips or the floor bottom with the seat bottom out of the car? I would guess 49 Cad and Olds would be the same. Or any GM car around 1950 should be close. Thanks Brian.

    There are no clips. The way the springs are constructed, they just sit down in the box. There is a clip for the bottom of the seat backs.

    See the 2 holes in the rectangle to the left, and down in the picture from the clip? There is 4 of them along that rail on my car with an impression of something being screwed down there. I think that is where I removed whatever holds the seat bottom in place. It's just been so long ago I don't remember.

    There is a trim piece that goes on the forward side of the "box" that the seat sits in. That would make sense.

    I think you are correct, the holes in the rectangle are for the front trim piece. Now to find the seat clips pictured in all my junk. I just looked at my car, and I don't have any holes for the clips pictured to fit into. Also I see no place where they would've attached. Very strange.

    Sent you a PM. I will look again at my 49 but, like Rockable I don't think there is an attachment hole/slot for the clips shown in Post 5. My seat is held in place by the front trim piece.

    I looked at my parts car which was 70 miles away today. I had the front vertical trim piece still on it. That is what holds the seat in place. The top of the trim piece is about 3/4" taller than the box section that the seat springs sit on, and is screwed to the 4 rectangles with the 2 screw holes in them. The seat is held in place by it. Thanks to all that replied with helpful info. Brian
