cobravii Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am going to need to do my seats next in this project and I am having trouble finding seat foams. Does anyone know for sure what other models are the same as my 1964 Buick Electra front buckets and rear seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I would be surprised if you could not get that from Clarks Corvair. They have upholstery products for the first generation Rivieras, as I understand the Corvair seats and the Riv seats are very close. And I thought your Electra seat was a step sister to the Riv Seat?

michel88 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I got new front bucket seats upholstery and "seat buns" for my 63 Riviera from Clarks. I was very pleased with the quality of their products. If the Electra seats are similar they probably could tell you and supply you with seat foams or buns as they call them.

buick5563 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If they are the same as a Wildcat, Impala seats will work opening a wide variety of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I talked to Clarks this past summer. They were at the national Corvair meet in Tacoma the same week as the Buick national. I ask how they got into the Riviera upholstery business.....turns out the grain pattern and colors are the same as the Corvair and they had plenty of Corvair vinyl.

cobravii Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Ok, thanks for all the input guys. I guess I will give Clarks a call and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRB62 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 For my 62 Electra I used repro seat foams for Chev Impala. Easily sourced and correct fit. No problems at all to fit, seat dimensions are the same. Got mine from Ecklers (don't mention it is for a Buick!) but I am sure there are cheaper supplyers.

CasinoBeige Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Anyone know of anyone who makes seat foam for older Buicks? I have a 54 Century and my upholstery guy says he can cut new foam but it is easier if I can find it ready made. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It's not available. Have your guy cut some while he is doing the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
