Topic: 46 business coupe seat configuation

  I just bought a '46 business coupe and, unfortunately, the seat is missing. My question is: What type of seat came with the car? Was it a split back bench or a bench with a one piece back? I have seen both in photos and I would like to get it right the first time.
If any members have one which has been judged to be correct I would greatly appreciate any photos.
Thanks!

  My 1942 3 passenger coupe has a solid back. It is hinged and swings forward. I don't beleive Ford called them business coupes.

  Thanks, Does the seat hinge at the bottom of the front or at the bottom of the back at the rear?
I have also called this coupe called the "short Door Coupe" as well. I'm not sure the proper terminology I just know I really like the roof line better on this model and that's why I bought it.

  Your seat has a solid ( one piece) backrest. The seat is hinged at the top of the backrest and swings forward and up.
