Australian Seat Springs
 

I was told that these seats were possibly carried over into some of the 1933 models. Pictures are from Australian 1930-32 Sports Phaeton. I’m in need of the backrests to buy outright or borrow for patterns.

Are you looking for a U. S. car or a Australian one. For a U S car, Snyder Antique Auto Parts made springs for early fords. It's been awhile since I had any business with them, but the last number I had was 330-549-5313 for tech info. Reg # 888-262-5712. They are located in Ohio

I doubt that the '32 Australian phaeton seat back cushion springs are carried over from those in a Model A phaeton, let alone on into the Australian '33 phaeton, given that each model year's phaeton body is very unique from one another.

Re: Australian Seat Springs
 

Each of the above pictures shows the Australian built “Sports Phaeton,” a completely unique body produced in the 3rd quarter of 1930 through 1932. Both the front and rear seat backrests are the double cushion design. I own a 1930 Sports Phaeton, one of the first 99 produced in 1930. I need the backrests.

I don’t know anything about the Australian early V8 production. Maybe someone has the Australian body parts book from 1932/33 and can look for the part number progression. I’m going on a tip from someone on another facebook forum.

I believe that Snyder's will custom make seat springs if you supply a pattern or specifications.


Carline Manufacturing, Beaumont TX (409) 833-9757 also will make custom seat springs. Note Carline is NOT affiliated with "the other guy" in Beaumont.

If I had a pattern or specifications then I wouldn’t be desperately searching the earth for a set. I’m capable of making the springs myself if I had a pattern!
