Default 1932 Ford Fordor seat covers

Hi, I recently picked up a 32 Fordor project. The car came with a front and rear seat cover set. I am having trouble identifying which is the front back rest cover and which one is the rear. Can someone please help?

If manufactured in North America, both front and rear seats had nine pleats whereas only one of those in the photos has nine. Apart from that detail, measure the width of the seats and that should steer you to which is which.

Looks like they may be Lebaron-Bonney covers. They mark the covers on the back side indicating where they go. Did you check the back for any markings? Markings are usually near the upper or lower edge.

Hi David and TJ, thanks for your help. David you pointed out the number of pleats something I missed". I checked the number of pleats on the seat bases and matched them to the back rest covers. The front seat covers has 8 and the rear has 9. There is no manufacturer markings or labels attached to the covers. Here is a picture of the 32. It was sold new in NZ, right hand drive and B4.

Looks like a nice one! Thanks for sharing the photo. It appears to be a four-cylinder standard model. Most likely it was produced in Canada. I have a standard Fordor as well.
