Re: rear seat numbers?

When talking about 1963-66 A bodies do not forget the Dart and Valiant wagons were on a 106" wheelbase, as were the Valiant sedans, hardtops and convertibles. Dart sedans, hardtops and wagons were on a 111" wheelbase. And the difference was all in the back seat and the rear roof. And the convertible rear seat was narrower (across the body) as the Dart / Valiant was 69.9"/69.0". The 1965 Coronet wagon was 75.1" across while the non-wagon Coronets were 75.6". So there is a 6.6" difference in width. C body Dodges were 79.0" in width, almost 4" wider than the B body Coronet.

For some interior dimensions (all 4 door sedans ) -

Hip room Coronet - Front - 60.8" and Rear - 61.0"

Shoulder room Coronet - Front 57.5" & Rear - 57.8"

Hip room Dart - Front 56.9" & Rear - 57.0"

Shoulder room Dart - Front 54.2" & Rear - 54.4"

The interior dimensions are for sedan / hardtop models.

For the A body convertible -

Hip room Dart - Front - 60.9" & Rear - 46.4"

Shoulder Room Dart - Front 54.2" & Rear - 54.4" (Dimensions same as hardtop with windows rolled up.

If you have any photos of the seat you are identifying, please pass a copy of it / them and I'll do some digging to identify it.

Thanks for the heads up Don & Neal. I forgot about the 'vert mechanism and I was probably just thinking about the
lower seat section only.

Similarly with the Barracuda reference: No, I was generalizing that the A-body platform was smaller, so by extrapolation
the interior dimensions are smaller, thus the width of the lower rear seat would be shorter left to right. Put that lower
section in a B-body and it would not fully reach the side of the B-body. This is hypothetical. Am I wrong? A trip to an old-
time junkyard could test that out. :)

Thanks,
