John, from the comment about the disappearing center post, the front seats are most likely stock. Such cars were used as ambulances or service cars for large funeral homes.

These cars usually came with two seats.  For first call funeral use, and for ambulance use (i.e. the ability to lay a stretcher alongside the driver,) there was a one passenger seat for the driver.  For the day of the funeral, the car would be turned back to a seven passenger car for the mourners with a full width front seat.  There was a little crane, not unlike a cherry picker, that held one seat or the other depending on the day's use of the car.

Verrrrrry interesting. Never seen that before. The ad text does say "...factory limo..." but is that correct or were these cars after-market modified? Probably explains why the doors have dropped on the "removeable pillar" side but are pretty sharp on the driver side. Those Fleetwood bodies for '37, as the last of the "composite" bodies, weren't all that stiff to start with particular when you take the centre pillar out. Hate to think how they might have flexed under drive.
