Doug,

According to a search of GMPartswiki the following applies to your GM Part Number tags:

GM# 3693896 - 1947-53 (All) Cushion - Pad, seat back

GM# 3969078 - 1947-55 (All 1st Series) Frame Assembly and Parts, seat cushion

The other stamped info beginning with "LAY" is most likely the assembly line that put the seat sections together. AM sure others with more knowledge will chime in with more details if available.

I don't know anything about that tag.
What I would like to know is more about where that seat cover material came from.

Got the seat covers from Classic Parts. They are really what I was looking for.. has the original leather look..

Got the cotton and batting from Jim Clark... very satisfied with quality.

Got 1" foam form a local upholstery supply shop for $70 with enough to do the back and seat...

Of course the originals were not leather but vinyl just like the the replacements.

The thing that stands out to me is that the recesses in the vinyl is dark just like the original covers. Do they carry maroon with that darkened recess aspect?

I believe so Carl. You’ll have to check and see if they have it in stock.
