Does the back cushion lift up from the bottom? How about a side & back view.

Based on the location and direction of the handle bottom center it is a 36 Ford seat. Without a back view or side view it is hard to tell.

On my 36 it's 49 in outside to outside.
Uppers corners are more rounded than your picture.
Mine is a Fordor

The seat back lifts from the bottom and swings on 2 hinges at the top.
Metal bottom frame, wooden back and side frames.
I don't have a pure side view picture - hope this helps.

Is a 37/38 wider? the later bodies seems to be a bit wider

thanks

Its 36.Later bodies are not that much wider if at that.I've put 40 tudor seats in 35-36 tudors and they fit well.Holes in floor even line up.
