    I have a 1957 Chevrolet 210 2 door sedan. I'm fairly sure the front seat is out of something else. It has been recovered so no clues there. There is a horse shoe shaped cut out in the center for the seat hinges to fold forward which I don't see in other 1957 Chevrolet's. It fits well, just curious what its out of.

    thanks for looking IMG_1004.jpg IMG_1006.jpg IMG_1010.JPG

    Since it appears that the seat has folding seat back locks it has to be 1967 or newer. Unless that chrome knob is the seat adjuster. Then this doesn't apply.

    The chrome knob it the seat adjuster. I thought it might be a clue to someone. If it did not have a little rodent damage I would just leave it be. thanks for looking.

    ^^^^ What 26Troadster said. If the bottom of the seat was split and could be adjusted independently by the driver and the passenger, you would have a split bench seat. You just have a bench seat. The upper curve of the seat back says GM to me, but IDK for sure. The "break" for the seat to fold is in an unusual spot, usually in the 90 degree bend of the seat. Maybe that is a clue for some one.
