Rear seat back frame ID - w/photo
 

6 Attachment(s)
Can anyone ID this rear seat backrest frameAttachment 234589

Attachment 234590?
It's came in a 4-door town sedan, that doesn't mean that's what it's meant for.
It has the center armrest.
I need a new wood frame but don't know the year or model that will work.
It came in and fits well in my '31 SW fordor town sedan.
If I can't find one I'll be forced to try and make one.
Yes I know...center armrests did not come in the '31 town sedan, but I like the armrest and plan on leaving it in,
Can anyone help with this dilemma?

66 views and not one response.....
At least I don't feel alone being stumped on this frame or where to get one, or what exactly it is out of, or the year, or what I can do to replace it.
Guess I'll build my own.

My first thought is it might be from a 1930 Town sedan. BTW, my 31 slant T/S is also missing the rear seat back, and I saw a perfect original rear seat back from a 1930 Town Sedan at Iola about 5 years ago. I should have bought it, even though the fold down arm rest wouldn't be correct for my 31 slant Town Sedan.

I have a 30 Briggs Town Sedan and your seat looks very similar. I bought the missing back seat at ebay and could reuse the wooden frame so I dont have the dimensions. See pictures at http://www.fordmodela.com/restoration/body/interior/ you have to scroll down a bit.

Scroll down a bit? There's 593 pictures...but well worth it.
I think you hit it, very, very close to what I have, only small minor differences in the wood frame, minor details, but everything else is the same, the armrest design, seat design, I think this is it.
So now I'm on the hunt for a "1930" town sedan back frame.
I'm bookmarking the website, with all those pictures on seats, it's great.
It even shows whats inside the armrest without me having to tear it apart, this is fantastic.
Thank you very much.
