    Found this really nice front seat, supposedly from a '37-'40 sedan. It must have been stored very early in it's life - it's like new (needs cleaning).
    It has a hard wood frame - I'm guessing it's early to mid-30's. Both seats tilt forward.

    Anybody able to I.D. this thing?

    Since they tilt forward they obviously came from a 2 dr. Not that you didn't know that. :D

    I figured that out pretty quick......
    They're too wide for my '36 build, but for $125 I had to get them.
    I'd like to get them to someone that's doing a restoration on whatever the he!! they're out of....

    '37-'40 what? It doesn't look like my '39 Ford seat.

    A '37 Tudor seat (maybe later years too) will fit a '36. Second the idea that it does not look like a Ford seat.

    The seller said '37-'40, but most wood was out of cars before then - this seat is wood construction.
    I believe the fabric pattern or the seat adjustment lever is going to be the give-away.

    Here's pictures of a 41 & 47 Desoto 2 door seat. No wood in either one of them. Since Chrysler, Dodge, and Desoto were pretty much the same, except fabrics and trim, I think you can eliminate 1940's Mopars.

    Well, I found some pics of cars for sale. One was a '39 Chevy Master Deluxe Business Coupe. I wasn't able to copy the pics but it definitely was the same seat.
    Mystery solved.
