'37 LaSalle opera seat question.

[1937 LaSalle coupe]

Hello everyone. The plywood ( the main frame piece and the seat bottoms ) is missing on my '37 LaSalle opera coupe. Need to know the thickness of the plywood. Also what is the distance between the metal upper pans for the seat backs ? What type of hinges would be the best to use for the opera seat bottoms ? Thanks for any replies... JohnLehman...

Surprised you haven't had any replies John so Ill help out if I can, My 38 Cadillac coupe is virtually identical to your 37 so be more specific about the dimensions you need or email me and Ill take pictures and send you.

John --- The thickness of the plywood partition and the seat bottoms is 3/4 in.  Not sure what other dimensions you want.  I do have pictures of the original parts for a 38 LaSalle if they would be any help.

Thanks Steve and Tom. The dimensions I need is the distance between the backs of the upper seat pans. Also the heigth of the back of the seat pans form the rear windows. I don't have pattern to go from. A few pictures would be really nice and maybe explain alot. Glad to hear the thickness is 3/4" . I was planning on using this thickness anyway. Again guys, THANKS...
