de Luxe phaeton/Victoria seats question

[john charlton]

I have an 180 A which has no front seats . A rodder has a pair of victoria front seats for sale . I can see in his pictures that the drivers seat is wider than the passenger seat as a de luxe phaeton would be . Are these the same seats ??? I know I would have to fit correct leather seat covers or could go over the good condition victoria originals . What do you think ???

The seats are close but no cigar
Both 180a seats are the same size as Vic passenger.
Also, the back is different because the Vic seat backs upholster alway down to the base,
180 has a flap (gusset) from waist band to base.
The Vics can be modified if one knows what they are doing. Or the could just be used. Some vics (earlier) has same size for driver and passenger

The 190A Victoria has two front seat cushion styles, one where the back & bottom cushions have a gap between them, and one where they touch (no gap).
