Re: Need '64 Fury rear seat bottom, Help!

[Bill Watson <wwatson6@xxxxxxx>]

The problem lies in the body style the rear seat was built for, and not make
or series.

The square corner seat is for a 2-door sedan or hardtop, while the rounded
corner seat bottom is for a 4-door.  Rounding the corners permitted more
room for the legs and feet to enter and leave the car through the rear door
opening..

So, if you want to use the Legendary interiors, get a seat bottom from a
2-door sedan or hardtop.   Should not matter if the seat is from a 330, 440,
Polara, Savoy, Belvedere or Firy.

The Canadian 1964 Dodge 440, by the way, used the Belvedere interior.  The
Polara used the Fury interior.   In 1963, though, the 440 used the Fury
interior as the bottom Canadian Dodge series was the 220 (Savoy) and the
middle series was the 330 (Belvedere).  No Canadian Polara in 1963, and no
Sport Fury or Polara 500, although you could get the Sport Fury seats in the
Fury or 440 (Polara in 1964) hardtop or convertible models.
