A buddy needs a correct rear seat for his car, seat is missing. Any leads?

Thanks - CW

I think a one from a Pontiac, Buick or Chevy would fit. However I know the Chevy had the grill with provisions for a speaker in the top middle of the rear cushion and it had the Impala logo on it.

We found out the Pontiac 'wide track' cars are a bit wider seat. Not sure about Chevy, so far none have turned up for hardtop. Thanks CW

Will a 61 seat work?

If a Chevy seat will work, it would have to be from an Impala.

I don't know in either case but if a 61 seat from a 2dr bubble top is available, some measurements would help, please. Would pass them on with many thanks.

Chevy did make a Bel Air 2-door hardtop which would be the same width as the Impala but without the speaker grill. Pretty rare so I doubt he would find one.

I have one from a parts car. It would need to be reupholstered but frame and springs are in good shape. I am in Connecticut. PM me or send an email to me at misercola@yahoo.com if your friend is interested. Mark
