best bucket seats for a 57 Belair

[Complete Auto Upholstery]

This car has 3 point shoulder harnesses, just like any newer car has.

Strapped into a tight fitting seat will always, trump a comfy pretty one, and make you feel like more of the car. Looks great, but need restraints.

If you want that crap buy a Prius.

Would you happen to have any pictures of how you mounted the buckets in you wagon?

I have a pair in my '57 wagon. They fit pretty good and are fairly comfortable.

I have a 57 210 wagon and would like to put buckets in it as well. I have a pair of 69 Chevelle Buckets that I'd like to put in it. Also could get my hands on 1971 Corvette Buckets. I'd like to keep it oldschool and GM. Thanks

In my opinion, high back bucket seats with headrests just look out of place in a tri-five. '62 to '65 full size GM buckets look like they belong there, but those late model Eldo buckets certainly look good if you're going for a modern custom interior.

Seats

Welcome to the site sgreg831!

Personally I like the late 90's to 2002 Cadillac Eldorado buckets. They are little larger-looking than a lot of other bucket seats, have 12-way power (with lumbar) and heat (if you want it), and fit well in these cars. There are a few others here who have used them too. I tried using a pair of Lexus seats, but they just looked to small in the car so I'm keeping them for another project. I built my own seat mounts that you can see in the pic below. I had a few other guys who wanted them, so I made several sets of them that I'm selling as a kit. The seat tracks need to be modified slightly, and only two holes need to be drilled in the floor for the inboard mount to make sure the seat is secure for safety reasons. The outboard mount is a bolt-in. I have a couple more sets left if you're interested. They may actually work with other seats with some modification.

Here's the 2000 Eldorado seats in my Nomad.

do you still have seat brackets or where you can get some?

[chevynut]

Supercop, for some reason I've been selling these like hotcakes the past couple of weeks, and I only have one set left. Send me a PM or an e-mail if you want it. I probably won't make another batch unless I get a couple more orders and I don't know when that might be or if it will happen at all .

If they are selling like Hot cakes

Why would you not make more ?

I'm still waiting for a set


Keep up your great work for the 55-57 chevys

Sid, people might suddenly get tired of hot cakes.

I have a feeling I'll end up making another batch....I wasn't sure you wanted a set but I'll make sure to set one aside for you.

Cad Buckets seat track for 57 Chevy

I saw your response to SGreg831 when googling "best Bucket Seats for 57 Chevy". I'm going to try and locate some Black Leather Cad Buckets at your suggestion. I would be interested in the seat mounts / tracks you mentioned. I also saw a yellow and white 55 Chevy with the Cad seats in beige or brown and was interested to know where the rest of the interior was done (console, door panels, etc). Not sure if this was your's or not.
Thanks for any info.

Roy, the car is a 56 Sedan and it's not mine. It belongs to Allen McEntire. He's also a member here "races14".

Another vote for the Eldorado seats! These are in my '57. I can't imagine a factory bucket seat that is better proportioned for a trifive, and the power adjustments are great to have, and at $50 each, you can't beat it. My '97 seats were very easy to get powered up and working, even with the memory on the driver's seat.

Hello Chevynut, this is an old post so I'm hoping you see this. I'm currently restoring my 57 2 Dr ht and was wondering what type of backseat would match up with the Eldorado buckets ? Thanks, Bob Blazek aka Blazin57

I used the back seat from the same cadillac. My upholstery man used the original 56 back seat bottom frame and part of the caddy
seat. You can see some of his work in my album toward the end.
