Need Vintage 98 Or Other Large GM Seats

I am restoring a 1949 Olds 98 convertible. A very rare bird. I need a set of seats that are the right size and vintage appearance. I believe I should be able to use seats from a Buick or Cadillac. Front seat should be electric. I can probably use seats from a 2dr coupe or sedan. Seats should be in good or restorable condition. I can help in making arrangements for pick up and delivery to California.
Thanks.
Bob
Ps; I can also use a working order lift for the convertible top.

You are probably going to need a back seat out of a convertible since they are not as wide. Otherwise you will probably need to take one from a hardtop and cut it down which can be done.

I have the seat springs for the rear, which will need major restoration. I also have a nice bench seat for the front, but it's not electric adjust. As a 98, I want power seats and power windows. I have most of the hydraulics, but it's going to take a master shop to get everything working properly.
