Re: Front seat -- 39 Six

I don’t have an answer but I do have a little anecdote to share relating to it. When I was a teenager in the ‘60s, I had my 1939 Six backed into the driveway which was downhill to the garage. the neighbor boy and I were going to go to the hardware store and, as I often drove cars that were partially apart, I thought nothing of the fact that I had just removed the nut holding on the steering wheel. What I didn’t expect was that the seat wasn’t latched and when I gassed it, it went back so far that even at 6’ tall I was unable to reach anything and, with the nut off, the wheel itself was still in my hand but not connected to anything! Fortunately I couldn’t reach the pedals either so the engine stalled. Things like that don’t usually happen in real life except that they do.
