Thread: Front Seats

Anyone know of a way to make access to the back seat easier.
Thanks
Mike

On Tudor's, Henry Ford used low back bucket seats that had hinges on the front support brackets. The seats thus folded / tumbled forward and gave great access to the back.

2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Seats, Tumble Design

The manual passenger seat slider on the early 2000's Chrysler Sebring two door shoots the seat almost under the dash. Most likely the same in most of the MOPAR 2 door vehicle's...joe

Thanks guys. The fold/tumble looks like something that could work. Just thought of this (with your suggestions) I had a 79' dodge Ramcharger that the entire passenger seat folded forward in one piece.

Mine are Honda Odyssey and not only does the back fold forward, but they will tumble also and if that doesn't work, pull the lever and sit the seat on the curb. What more can you ask for? Look at Craigslist in Phoenix and Tucson. A fellow there pulls them from a factory brand new when they are converting the van to Handicap access. Very reasonable price for either cloth or leather.

Since there has to be a smartass in every crowd today I will take on that burden.

Scooting what year?

Like the long roofs... love the long doors.

Thanks Bob.;o)

I solved that whole problem by building a coupe.

Mike, from about 2000 to current year. We have gone coast to coast with them. Had Buick Lacrosse seats which were super comfortable but backs would not fold for rear seat access so went to these. Wife likes them better than her Escalade seats. Look on the noted craigslist for the "new bucket seats", guy usually has about 50-100 in stock, brand new and ships anywhere. The grey leather seats with console go for about $350, less if you don't want the console.

Are these for your '32? For my '37 I'm considering seats from an '02 or newer BMW 3 series convertible. They are narrow enough for most of our old cars, very comfortable, power operated, fold forward for rear seat access, mount to a flat floor and have an incorporated shoulder harness that doesn't look too obnoxious.....just a thought. The one pictured is from an '04 325 CI

I thought about trying to make a swing out seat bracket so the seat could swing out. I may have to change my mind, and see if the guy in Az will ship those seats.

Well, like Uncle Bob, my car is a moredoor. So, getting into the back seat is not an issue. Our front seats are 10 way power from a '10 Cadillac CTS. I've only got 3" between the seats. But---boy are they comfortable!!

Not any room in a 32' for a console but the $ sounds good. Thank you
