WANTED front seat for 1955 Chrysler

[Mike McGuire]

Hello,
Looking for a 'good enough' or better front seat for a 55 Chrysler, can be Windsor, New Yorker, 300, Imperial.
My current seat is too worn out. Looking for something usable a few rips ok, but worthy of sitting on.
Color doesn't matter. (I already have a beat up one in need of restoration.)

Location is in New Hampshire.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Ross, the foam is ancient in condition, entirely dry and crumbles under very slight touch. I was contemplating to lay a Harbor Freight shipping blanket over it, but it won't reliably support that either. then I was thinking about putting a plank on the seat, then blanket, but..... I'd rather find a good enough seat, and not spend the time during Chrysler season in upholstery. If there's one out there, and somewhat local, I'm in...
thanks,
Mike
