Upholstery for 2dr and 4dr sedans

[rdr838]

Hi!

My '68 Dart 2dr sedan has a rear bench out of a '72 Duster in it, the square bottom part, not the rounded ones as you'd expect in four-doors.

I was dumb enough not to think about that difference when ordering new seat covers. The description of the seat covers read "1968 Dart / Valiant 100 2 Or 4 Door Sedan Black Vinyl Rear Seat Upholstery". Of course it doesn't fit the Duster 2dr lower part (backrest worked like a charm)

I'm thinking of calling the seller to find a solution but would like to be sure that their description must be off. Can someone confirm that 68 Dart 2dr sedans originally came with the square-type 2dr rear seats? I mean why would they have put 4dr rear seats in a 2dr...

Not sure if they're original, but here are the seats in my '68 Dart. They look rounded off to me.

Thank you, yes, that looks like rounded off seats like the ones I'd expected in a 4 door. So maybe there were 4 door seats in 2dr sedans from the factory?!

Sounds like it, huh? The only other 67+ A body I've had was a 72 Duster, and I honestly don't recall which one it had. I'm thinking the squared off version.

Yes, the 2 door sedans '67 to '69 had the 4 door rounded bottom rear seat.
Actually, all a 2 door sedan in those years was a converted 4 door.
So.......... the windshield, rear window, roof, rear seat, trunk lid, and front clip are the same as a 4 door.

Alright, so I‘ll need a 4-door seat core. Shouldn‘t be impossible, even over here.
Thank you two!
