I am pretty sure these are not original seats for a 56 Sunliner, however, I seem to be wrong about a lot of things these days. Original or not? The car is presented as restored is why I asked.

No they are not original seats but they do look good!

As the person selling this car, I can tell you this is certainly NOT the original seat. The restorer wanted something a bit more comfortable, so he installed a much later, power seat. It looks the part but is way more comfortable than the original seat, plus it has more adjustment possibilities.

I did not intend to critisize but since the ad indicated restored I thought maybe they might be original to a 56. I know my 55 Sunliner has bench seat. I will replace it with buckets also, thought those might be an option.

They kind of look like 90s crown vic seats,if anyone with a sunliner or crown vic wants to put a modern front seat do not throw away the original. If I were looking at one for sale with a modern seat the original must be included or there will have to be a price reduction to replace it.
