plymouthdoctor Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Can anyone tell me for sure if the upper and lower rear seat cushions from a 47 coupe will work in a '48 convertible? Thanks, Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Norm is correct. Have not ever measured, but those side pieces do take up a bit more space. And, my seat back has a piece of plywood on the back of it. I think the coupe seat is just open to the springs. Reason for the wood is - the seat back is the front side of the top well. You, or an upholstry shop guy, could probably make the seat a slight bit shorter to fit. Back seat of a coupe........

Brendan D25 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Bob, is that the rear seat from your coupe? I thought the club coupe had a parcel shelf. Is that an original rear seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS48plm Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Wayne, My convertible seat was a smaller than my coupe seat and would have taken a lot of modification to fit. JohnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Right, Norm.......the package tray is there, just sits down in behind the top of the cushion. On occasion, I have thought about getting a coupe bottom cushion and having it cut down to where it was more narrow from front to back (as well as shorter in length.) So it was not so close to the front seat. There is only about 6 inches between the original rear seat and back of the front seat. Not so comfy a deal for back seat passengers. I can only scoot the front seat forward so far before the steering wheel hits my tum-tum. (I know, need to lose a few pounds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Tonight I measured the front edge of the rear bottom cushion of a P15 coupe. It is 56" across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
