1939 & 1940 Buick front seat

[Guest casino949]

My 1940 Phaeton is in desperate need of a front seat. I have seen a front seat for sale from a 1939 Buick (model unknown). Is the basic construction of the front seat on '39 & '40 Buicks close enough that I can adapt the '39 seat to fit well in my '40? As the "39 seat is 900 miles away any advise on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

Some front seats from 2 door 1939 & 1940 coupes & convertibles have 2 piece back, so be careful

Like Allen says, coupes and two doors have a split back. 38's and 39's are different, but 40's could be the same frame.

My Phaeton is a '40 Century (8-61c) 4-door with the solid seat back and the '39 seat also appears to be a solid-backed seat from a 4-door model. If the wood frame and the back construction is the same on the '39 and '40 buicks I may be able to use the '39 seat frame to reconstruct the seat on my '40.
