Manually-controled swivel seats were an option on 1959 Plymouth, Dodge,
DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperials cars, although just the top-line Plymouths
and Dodges.
For 1960 Chrysler installed a cable which permitted the seats to swivel out
when the door was opened and in when the door was closed. Again, they were
offered on all 1960 Mopar products except the Valiant.
And they were offered again in 1961 on the Chrysler 300-G and some Imperial
models.
Although the 1960 Imperials were large (129" wheelbase), the remainder of
the Mopar lines (except Valiant) shared the same body which was a bit
shorter than the Imperial. So they were not small either, with the Plymouth
on a 118" wheelbase, Dodge on a 122" and DeSoto/Chrysler sharing 122" and
126" wheelbases. So it would be possible to install the seats in any
1959-1960 Mopar car (except Valiant).

Subject: [FWDLK] Imperial Swing-out seats
A friend of mine in another state located a '60 Imperial parts car with
swing-out seats,he asked me if they would fit other models
(Desoto,Chrysler,Plymouth or Dodge) being the Imperial was such a huge car.I
didn't know and figured someone on the list would know the answer,if you
know you can e-mail me either on the list or off.
Thanks,
