Hey everyone, I won a bet with my boyfriend and got my dream car a 1953 Chevy Bel Air sedan. Unfortunately it was gutted by previous owners and has no seats or interiors and I haven’t had the luck of finding any in my area. So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of which seats would fit? The closest I’ve found were bench seats from a Chevy square body they measured 58”, but I wasn’t sure if they’d fit plus it was an hours drive there plus an hour home which made me more hesitant on the purchase. I’d honestly accept any recommendations. My boyfriend has also set a goal of when he wants us to have the car finished which is Halloween.
I know 55-57 Chevy seats can be made to fit fairly easily. And in San Diego that seat from a four door should be easy to find.
Was going to mention that myself. Doesn't really matter but out and about there are people that get particularly vicious when calling a car a bel air that's not one

Give Jay a call. His shop deals with lots of vehicles 30’s 40’s 50’s 60’s. Between himself and the local car clubs that go to his shop will lead you in the right direction quickly. Jay may not remember me, but drop a mutual friends name “Cisco” with the 37 Pontiac. He’ll get a kick out of the that. @lumpy 63 you have any place/places to add?
