Also I think the back seat should have a strip of carpet on the bottom face. I don't know how wide through. Maybe the same height as the door panels. Any confirmation and correct photos would be appreciated. Thanks
The first & second photo is a seat from either a Tudor or a business coupe. Without seeing the bottom the seat, I can't be certain exactly which it is.
Regardless, this seat is covered in the deluxe stitching pattern.
There is only two sets of "ribs" on a split back seat in the closed car models.
The third seat remains a mystery to me and will continue to be without photos from the opposite sides.
