rodneybeauchamp Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 These swivel seats look great and would make it very easy to get in and out. Surely they can’t be that expensive to manufacture as an option. Certainly more elegant 😀😀😀😀😀😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma always said "If you can't say something nice, ------", but --- a Model-A F@rd cowl married (engaged? - shotgun married?) to a 1960 LeSabre back seat and hind quarter with a Chebby engine ???

RivNut Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I’m thinking something other than Chevy; the distributor on this one is at the front of the engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 It looks like a GM HEI distributor too. Could actually be Buick powered in which case it could compete in the BCA Modified Division class. I've never studied those competition rules but I believe it goes by the number of changes that have been made and then by the quality of the work to accomplish those changes, but has to have a Buick engine.

I'm guessing with air bags a swivel seat wouldn't be secure enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 This is not a concept but an attempt to have a removable hardtop as an option for the 1990 -91 Buick Reatta convertible. ASC designed the Reatta convertible top and made the top. It was then sent to Lansing to be installed. ASC had access to early convertibles and made this hardtop in an attempt to get Buick to make it an option. Somehow Buick declined and ASC did not go forward with it as an aftermarket item. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
