Default 1957 seats

Anyone ever see this type of seat in a '57? Red seat but has black horizontal stripes. Not sure if they were optional or what.

Thanks. I've never seen them either. Maybe they were going for the Ferrari look.

I've been eyeballing this unrestored '57 owned by a 102 year old man! Registers and inspected every year but rarely is driven. I question the origin of those seats. Think $40-45 k is a good price?Name:  IMG_5361.JPG

I agree with the 40-45k range. There’s a lot of things that are in correct, if that matters to you. The heads have been changed so check the engine numbers. Good luck.

I think you'd be taking advantage of him at $45-50.
