'62 Rear Seat Interchange?

[62BillT]

Trying to find out what rear seat will interchange with a '62 Impala 2-Dr Hardtop. I originally figured '61 to '64, but someone mentioned '61 and '62 only. Any info would be apppreciated.

A small part of the comparison

I have the rear seats out of a 1961 Bel Air sport coupe (Bubbletop) and a 1962 Bubbletop, and they appear to be the same. I have seats in a 1962 Impala, but am not able to compare at the moment. Ask me in a week or so and I will have those out as well

Not sure about the other years, as I try to stay focused on (lots of) 61s and 62s

Cheers,

Tom, are those seats for your projects or extras? BBQ

'62 Pontiac Grand Prix back seat will fit and has a really cool fold down armrest, the plate for the speaker grille is a lot wider but the Impala grille will fit it.

Sorry to report that they are for each of the cars which I am restoring. They are somewhat challenging to restore, especially those "piano strings" that always seem to get corroded

Best,

Great to revive an old thread. I've also been told that the '61 Impala BubbleTop Rear Seat will fit in a '62 Impala Sport Coupe. If correct, that would mean '61 to '64 would all be the same.

Does everyone out there agree?

The 61 & 62 Belair bubble top seat would not have a Impala Speaker in the seat frame,width should be the same.
A 61 impala bubble top rear seat would have a speaker grille in the seat.

Years ago at the first west coast shootout there was a 62 Belair Bubbletop with complete 62 SS interior seemed to fit good and looked great

Not sure on the 61 but 62 thru 64 Impala hardtop will interchange.

Yes Paul, I stand corrected. 61 Impala, and 61 Bel air 2 dr (bubble top), and 62 Bel Air 2 dr hard top (bubble top) are all the same size width, No speaker in the rear seat....Senior moment, as I used the rear seat from the 62 impala when Jim and I cut the roof off of the Impala and replaced it with a bubble top roof. When I reupholstered the rear seat, I welded a few cross pieces into the space of the rear speaker and padded over it when I upholstered it with the Bel-Air material. Get all of those restorations we did, a little mixed up at times!!!!!!!

Simply put, any 61-64 2 door seats with the end panel pieces will be the same size, top and bottom seat, except convertibles, and Impalas and Parisiennes have speakers.
