There are 2 different front seats for a Victoria. From the beginning of production to mid June, the seats used a pivot rod to attach the seats to the floor. After mid June, the drivers seat would slide back and forth. The passenger seat had 2 fixed pivot. The seat back construction is also different between the two. The Victoria drivers seat is 1" wider than the passenger seat. They are different from a 2 door seat.

There was an article in The Restorer a few months back about a guy who was reproducing them.

Ronn
Completely different shape and structure
Vic has “hour glass” curved back with lower flap
Tudor straight back…
No where close
Someone will likely post pics or easily seen in model a pics everywhere

These are the seats in my Steel-back Victoria. The middle picture is the driver's seat, and the right picture is the passenger's seat.

Bobs pics are early seats. Are you looking for early or late? The later has the wider drivers seat and the slide setup for the drivers side. The passenger side is same floor setup. And, they don’t have the loose flap but upholster down to the bottom cushion. Kinda hard to explain in words
