Looking to the Leatherback experts to see if the Briggs 60A back seat backrest had a wood frame? I am missing some pieces of the car I am restoring and I have gotten different information on this. Thanks!

Bratton's lists a wood seat frame for 1928-29 Leatherback 60-A and 60-B rear cushion but nothing for the backrest. A call to Walt might confirm that it doesn't use one.

No, it is one of the few things in there that does not have wood. I will take pics over the weekend.

Thank you! The upholstery instructions that I have show a wood frame and tacking the upholstery to the wood frame for the rear backrest. I had/have no wood and assumed the upholstery was just attached by hog rings.

Well now you got me second guessing, I’ll get you a definitive answer tomorrow with pics

For sure neither the rear or the front backrests had wood for the upholstery to tie into. Now the buttrests is a different story! This is on a nondelux with no center armrest Briggs blindback, leatherback Nov 28 60A.

Sent a PM to you rundmt123 for all of the pics I took.
