If your going for the traditional look, its tough to find a split bench seat that fits and looks good in these cars. I would try to find someone who is parting out a 39 or 40 car and buy the seat even if you just get the springs and frame work. Oh, and these old seats weigh a ton if they still have the cloth and padding on them so freight would be high if shipping is involved. Good luck.
He needs a split-back seat for a tudor. If choosing a van seat, likely need to be the middle one. (I have a nice one for a fordor that will not help you and recently sold the 40 tudor seat)
I too need a seat for a '39 tudor........I haven't found anything that fits AND looks right. Good luck with the search.
You're pretty much stuck with finding an original seat from a 37-40 Tudor or 39-40 split-back Coupe seat used in the Coupes with jump seats. I once had a perfect split-back Coupe seat and couldn't get $150 for it at any swap meet so I gave it to another vendor so he could try for 3 years or more like I did.
need a 37 to 40 split back seat for it to look right-a glide can be made to look semi correct and then add the rear footrests but an orig is much better-orig split back seats are getting very hard to find around here- sedans have a footrest on the rear of the seat-coupes don't. I have a set of footrests if any one needs them
I had to buy a complete rusted-out hulk of a '40 2 dr. just to get the front seat for my coupe. After a lot of rust repair and hours fixing the sliders, it works really well. Sold what was left of the 2 dr. and basiclly got the seat free. Could never find any other seat that I like as well.
