Technical Need help with seat I.D.

Hey guys. Two questions.

1. I need some help with I.D. of the seats in my '55 chevy. I *think* they are early 60's mid size GM seats? But if anyone knows what they came in for certain, I'd appreciate it.

2. Once I know what they are, where can I buy new seat covers?

Thank you in advance!

 

Look at 64 Impala buckets, they are similar. The seat backs differ from the early versions, lots of info on various sites/forums.

 

Those aren't 64 Impala, the trim goes all the way around the back in 64. GM used variations of that bucket for a few years in many models. Someone should know what that trim design was from.

 

62 to 65 Corvair/Nova.

 

that lever is rather interesting. I don't think I've seen that before.

 

Early convair sure looks like it! Thanks, guys!

Now to find some seat covers and foam.

Thank you a ton!

I got a quote for $3200 to redo the upholstery, going to take stab at it myself.

 

I think that lever gets a piece that goes over it and it moves the seat forward and back on the tracks.

 

The seat covers for the buckets sell for about $360 from various sources. They are not that hard to install.
