Re: IML: Swivel Seats

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

The automatic feature was likely disconnected by a dealer at some point 
when the car was traded in on a new model. Any Chrysler Dealer that got 
a hold of a swivel seat car during those years followed the order from 
the company to change them to manual operation. The owners were also 
encouraged to disconnect the mechanism if the cars were brought in for 
dealer service.

Hi All,

     The swivel seats in my 59, open with the lever only, and do not 
automatically swivel when the door is opened. Am I missing something 
here?

 

Marty

During the 1960 model year, the mechanism was changed so that it did
not automatically swivel the seat out when the door was opened. It
could only be swiveled by actuating the lever by hand.

I noticed in the repair section of the site that under swivel seats it
says  "1960 - 1961 models only". This is not a true statement. 1959
also had swivel seats.

You're correct!  I believe the reason it says "1960-1961" in the repair
section is that the design was changed after 1959, so the repair
instructions would be somewhat different.

Thanks,
