Here's some more photos of the mythical seat back shields on 1940 Ford split back seats. Their purpose is to prevent the upholstery from tearing when moved back and forth at the pivot point. These have been on every split back seat car, tudors, convertibles and parts cars that I've had in the past 38 years. NOSPARTSMAN

I have them in my Convertible and also have some sedan seats in the barn and they are on them also.
I am not concerned at all if they are original at this point in the game. Travis in Ky. |

Right. Who is to say that every 40 left the line with these in place on the seats?
We were not there that day .This is just an example why I judge my cars myself . Travis in Ky. |

I would call them escutcheons. They cover the area where the hinge pin/pivot pokes through the seat back fabric giving a finished look.
