mfontes Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hello I am new here, but I do have a question. I have a 1959 Buick that I am restoring as a restomod. I want to install bucket seats in the front. Will 1963-64 GM seats work? These are available as after market, but 1959 Buick seats are elusive and extremely expensive if found. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'm sure you could get them to fit and work even though they are not authentic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfontes Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'm not restoring this car as original, but I do want bucket seats. Not sure what other have used in place of the front bench seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have found that the Chevy Impala is a pretty good match to my 1960 Electra.

I was considering these seats as well. I just cant imagine GM creating a bunch of different seat configurations back in the day, but Buick and Chevy were different. I know the roof and the windows on the 59 Buick are the same as 59-60 Chevy, but other than that I think they are completely different. I may just get these seats you have listed and make them fit. I appreciate all the assistance here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
