Re: Seat Cushion tags

Roy,

My 1962 #13078 (build date 6-22-62) has the following information on black cardboard tags:

Driver's back: MSWBP 2 10 61 / J A2F-1114-C / (no part #)
Driver's bottom: MSWBP 2 17 61 / J A2E-1113 / 3782958-6
Pass back: MSWBP 2 10 61 / D A2F 1124-C / 3819176
Pass bottom: MSWBP 2 17 61 / E A2F 1123-A /3782958-6

These seats are original, still with the factory red upholstery. Note that both backs and both bottoms bear the same dates and would seem to be 1961 model frames, not to say that there was any difference. The driver's bottom tag has some previous water damage, is faded to white cardboard and the letter following 1113 is illegible.

The slash marks between the numbers above indicate separate lines on the tags. I would post a photo but not sure how to do.

Re: Seat Cushion tags Justin

Roy, my '57 original seats had cloth tags on the seat bottoms and cardboard tags on the seat backs. May have the order reversed. If I get a chance today, will check my files and post the part no.s Gary....

Re: Seat Cushion tags Justin

Actually the tags are dated late 1957 which would be correct for my November production #1327 58'. JB
