Can anybody identify the attached pictured seat as stock for a 1928/29 roadster?

wrndln · 12-30-2019, 12:47 PM

No, it is not.

Thanks wrndln. Do you know where I could find dimensions/pictures of the original seats? Does anybody sell accurate reproductions?

If you want to see pretty close to original material the seat is suppose to be covered in, contact Classtique in Minnesota and they will send you a sample upholstery material kit (actual patches of the material they use). I have used them before and they do a good job. Just search Classtique and you can get their email and phone number.

Without further inspection, I couldn't tell one way or another whether a seat was set up with the original spring boxes or not. Snyder's started his business making reproduction seat spring boxes. You might contact them for dimensions. Folks like to modify their seats to fit them better too so you never know what you will find in a restored car.

Here are some pictures of the Maron's 494 point 1929 Roadster.

Good to know. I have asked Snyders for some dimensions.
