Bill.....I took them off the seats in 1969.....I really don't remember whether they were on the bottoms or backs! But I do remember that they were hog-ringed and that they were on only 2 out of the 4 cushions. I stuck them in a baggie and they've been hanging above my workbench ever since!....Brad

1969! Another long-time '59 owner. I had to have my seat bottoms repaired in the 60s. Back then, the upholstery guy removed the original cover, replaced only the split vinyl and kept the original panels that weren't split...

Here's a picture of where those tags go on the seat backs if you choose to re-install. This back still has original cover, but will need to be re-covered.

Wow...a neat picture....I've never seen (or can't remember) seeing photos (your's & Richard's) of where they were mounted....Thanks, man!
