Does anyone know what car these seats might be from. I dont think they are the originals from a 69 442. The drivers seat has a power motor, but there is no wiring harness for it. I would like to reupholster them but Im not sure the original 69 covers and back panels would fit? Thanks Rob

 

Heres a pic

 

The door panels are from a 71-72 Supreme,so I am guessing that the buckets came from the same car,& maybe they had them reupholstered in the past.It is the same actual seat,& correct for 69-72,so just put the correct 69 covers on them.The foam had a little different shape too.

 

You are right, definitely not correct for a '69 442 or Cutlass S.

 

More likely they came from a Skylark or Chevelle. The pleated vertical stitching is more in line with Buick and Chev. Like Brian says, just order the proper upholstery kit for the seat and install it or get a shop to do it, since the seat frames are interchangeable in those years. Extra padding or stiffness is up to you as long as you can still get the seat cover over top. (using a hair dryer to soften the upholstery works good for stretching) Legendary seems to have a pretty strong following for "period correctness" with some of the guys here.

The Power seat option: is it a 4 way or 6 way? Easy to tell by looking at the side of the seat trim. If it only has a round cutout flanked by 2 screw holes, it's 4-way. You can adapt a pwr seat from any of the 60's and early 70's to make that work. If you need a harness, Fusick sells them for 119.00 One of our members (eightupman) also knows how to make these. You'll also need the proper relay and power wire from the accessory junction or block. Clean grounds are a must for power options in the 70's cars.
