Seats to Fit 1931 Vicky
It would appear that I have about 38" of width available for front bench seat that folds for rear seat entry or two bucket seats. Does anyone know what seat will fit. I had hoped that Mustang buckets would work but they are way too wide. Seat must allow rear passengers to get in and out. Do not want to use original Vicky seats .

A member in my club fitted bucket seats in his victoria. I'll see him on Wednesday and I'll ask him what seats he used.

Re: Seats to Fit 1931 Vicky
Tudor seats fit. Vicky seats fit best, why wouldn't you want to use the Vicky seats if you have them?

Re: Seats to Fit 1931 Vicky
When I bought this car it was mostly complete. Great rear seat assembly ( which I am using) and upholstery good enough for good patterns and 2 Wooden Boxes for the front seats so ......... Meanwhile this is a semi restoration. Will have its original leatherback and sidemount spare but '51 Merc flathead and 16" wheels from a '35 Ford and otherwise look stock "A".

Re: Seats to Fit 1931 Vicky
I would look for Vicky seats while your building it, they are out there. Tudor seat will also work with little modification if any. Also you might look into British sports car seats like MG's and such. These were small cars with small seats. You might even measure some early low back VW bug seats. If your only part way through the project though I would hold out for Vickie or Tudor seats

How do those high back seats look in an A? Whats next Vtech motors. Do you really drive your A to be more comfortable? I drive mine because it takes me back in time No one has ever complained that my seat is uncomfortable or said I needed ergonomic styling Here's some examples of people very comfortable in the coupe.
