Nice pictures Sam as always. What are your plans for the seat? Museum?

[Chuck Moreland]

does that base allow it to hing forward?

No doubt. I think that base came off a horse and buggy.

Sam's Secret Seat Museum ..... has a nice ring to it

Sam,

All kiding aside ... the covering on the back looks like the vintage wool carpet used in VW Beetles, maybe 356s as well in the '50s or '60s ...

I think I saw a very similar seat one time in a white '63 356 Carrera 2!

Ditto, To what Warren said.

This is a great seat to document how they were originally covered. Looks like it was well used.
Love the good old Porsche pinstripes.

The rear cover has the same shape as a rear 911 floor mat too.

Great find Sam!

Jeez, Sam, that's so old, it should be in a MUSEUM.

Preferably a 2-liter museum. . .

Very interesting.

Worth replicating? The frame looks to be beautifully simple.
