Maybe that's a really super rare factory experimental prototype concept custom one-of-a kind D-24 plus 2 more.

Over time, I've seen many old cars where the seats have been replaced

by later model items, be they buckets or bench. I've never had occasion

to sit in and drive one of those cars. I'm thinking it would seem odd not

having the original style seat........would take away something from the

overall experience of driving an "old" car.

Just a thought........

if custom is your direction..seats are of no real concern as long as they fit well and you match them to the interior eventually..I have never really tried to look out the windshield and under my buns at the same time while driving..just get her out there and on the road..

Bob,

Really bucket seats are no different than the bench seat we sit on, except they are more comfortable to sit in. As far as sitting lower in a bucket seat, that's solved by building a pedestal frame for the bucket seat to mount to. Then you can sit as high as you did with the original seats.

You can also get bucket seats like in my wife's car or my van. Just by lifting a lever the seat will go up or down, and you can also adjust the seat bottom tilt of the seats with a knob. Then of course you can adjust the seat back too. If my seats had been bad when I bought my coupe I would have replaced them with modern buckets in the front.

sometimes the sellers put the wrong # when filling the spaces in the preset section, but this guy went on to put straight 8 in the description as well.:D

When I went back for another look there is another strange difference.

It has the thermo housing style for an internal bypass engine, and an odd hose routing for the heater. I did not think any D-24's got the internal bypass setup.

That is the way my P-19 is with the housing and heater.

Forgot I had these pictures. Nice bucket seats in this 41 Plymouth. Guy said they came out of a Ford Explorer. Originally this was a business coupe with no back seat. But........the owner wanted a back seat so he also used the rear seat from the Explorer for a back seat in the coupe.
