I am restoring a 1959 Corvette, and when I removed the seats, there was a tag hanging from each seat with the following information:

BP 12 8 58
MSWB91114E1
3761742-11

These tags measure approximately 3 inches long by 1 inch wide, and they have rounded corners.

Does anyone know the definition of these numbers/letters? Do they define specifications of the original build similar to build sheets?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

upper tag 53 to 57? Not sure but date and part #

3310vette

It is the manufacturer's tag; something like McIllhinney Spring Wire ?? and the company part number.

They made the frame & spring assemblies for the outside supplier that built the seats.

That is cool yours still exist, i tossed the tags off my car back in 1976 when the seats were redone, they seemed unnecessary back then.

I would suggest your seats were assembled dec 8, 1958.

Here are more seat tags for reference from my 61 and 57

Mine were so bad that they wouldn't hang on the springs. So i put them into small plastic holders and wire tied them to the springs.
