    Model A's deserve more traditional seats IMO.. But what do I know anyway...

    Wouldn't it be hard and expensive to find original Cobra seats? Or did you mean late model Mustang seats?

    Good point ^^^.. I may have miss understood his question.. I was thinking late model Mustang Cobra seats.. If he meant real Cobra seats then yea, they probably would work just fine in a Model A...

  5. Factory five sells a cool set of cobra seats that would be a perfect fit the only problem that I see is they are a bit pricey @ 599.00 plus the 50.00 ride. HRP

    I've been considering a pair of them in my roadster. Didn't think $599 was all that bad when you consider the cost just to have a pair of bucket seats upholstered nicely.

    @seadog Tom has a pair of them in his '32 Roadster and they seem to fit well and look great.

    The pictures shown are from a Austin Healey Sprite (Bugeye in US terms and Frogeye in UK terms) They are late 50's and were used on in the MK II Sprites (Box Sprite)
