Does anyone know how wide the bench seat is for the 1927 Ford Coupe? How wide can I go for bucket seats for the 1927 Ford Coupe?

Thanks

I hardly ever come here but I found a 1948 Thames/Prefect bench seat and it fit perfectly. Most bucket seats are too wide but I believe some from a Fiero could be close. I am on the HAMB if you can't get an answer here.

Hey Dave,
Just ran into this post.
I've got a set of cool small bucket seats I'm sure will fit.
They are boat seats and even swivel.
I'm over on the HAMB.

just log in to my posts and you'll find them, I just bumped them in parts.

Thanks for the update. Those are boat seats as you said. I can not use them because I would have to also get a base for them. Plus shipping.

From your profile photo I gather this doesn't require stock seats. How about beetle seats? I assume so. Cal. still has salvage yards, so they should be easy to find. The most comfortable seats I ever used were from a 1968 Renault R-10, but I don't remember how wide they were.

I'm trying to do what's more comfortable for me. Bad back. If I could find a good solid bench seat, I think that I would rather go that way. Buckets are a thought because I know they can be very sturdy as some bench seats are too mushy for my back.

I have a 26 coupe and used a 2nd row caravan seat and built a 4" riser for it. Fits very well !
