I've been looking for some new seats to put in the 59. I spent hours searching picture after picture of stock vehicles looking for a seat design I liked, I finally decided on powered leather seats out of a 91 Deville. Has anyone by any chance ever tried this? What's the general concensous on this working, yeah or nei?

Good cruisin ya'all and thanks

I think the seat will work.

Note: The Cadillac seats of that year do not have strong backs and are prone to collapse. In a car when hit from behind, the back of the seat will break and fold backwards. I have a set that it has happened to. There have been several writups about these seats also. In a truck they should work great though.

thanks for the tip Builder. That'll be good info when I build a speaker box for behind the seat. I'll have to build a frame around the box to protect from seat failure.
