Re: [Chrysler300] Front Seat Comfort

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Kieth and All:
I remember my 300C being very comfortable.? I would just tilt that 6-way seat way back and cruise.? Of course I was younger then too!!? I do remember driving a friend's '57 DeSoto with a manual seat and found it quite uncomfortable.? I think the power seat has a big input on comfort for those radically lower 1957 models.
300ly, Gil C.

Does anyone else find the seat position in their Letter Car (particularly the  
'57 C)to be uncomfortable for long rides? I don't have a power seat in my C, so  
that may be at least part of the problem, but I doubt that's it entirely. 
 
I'm not that much above average height, but I wish my seat was tilted back a  
bit, sat just a little higher, and traveled a couple of inches further back. As  
it is, I get virtually no thigh support as my knees are up in the air when my  
seat is adjusted all the way back. 
 
I have designed a pair of mount adapters to reposition the seat in a way that I  
think will likely be very helpful, but I wonder if someone else already has  
developed a fix. I haven't yet machined them, but just before I do, I thought  
I'd better ask first.  I certainly don't want to be reinventing the wheel. 
 
Am I the only one who doesn't like the factory positioning? Is this a manual  
seat issue only? Has it been previously addressed? Are other years a problem  
too? 
 
Thanks for your input.
