Re: Vicky Question
I think Victoria seats interchange with the 400-A convertible sedan. Doors also. Scarce items.

Re: Vicky Question
The Victoria came with two styles of front seats. The early style, from introduction to about May ‘31 were, I believe, the same as the phaeton.
The later style seats are the same as the A400. There are probably differences with the seat frames and springs. The rear seat is unique to the Victoria. |

The later seats had a wider drivers seat than the passenger. Also the floor mounts are different between the early and late seats Need to subscribe to the Vic assn newsletter The Bustle cheap and informative |

I guess that would explain it. Mine is an early 1931. I do subscribe to the Bustle. It’s an interesting read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Vicky Question
The drivers seat was 18.5" wide for both the early and late (sliding) style. The passenger seat was 17" wide for both early and late. The early seats had a flap that covered the opening between the seat back and the seat cushion and the late sliding seat did not. First picture is of the early seat and the second is of the late seat.

Re: Vicky Question
My car has flaps in both seats. They tend to hide things that fall into them.
