I bought some suppossed 1937 Cadillac seats on ebay and they don't match, the bench seat is probably for a 1940, too wide, so I need both front and rear set of seats, thank you, Robert Brown,   I also have some parts for trade, grille, hood, headlights, fenders, front cowl.  813-753-8961

You can look for 1937-1938 GM "B" bodied cars and they should work for you. Olds, Pontiac, Buick Special/Century, LaSalle, and of course, your Cadillac Series 60 which was the base model Cadillac for those two years.

You will have to use the correct pattern for the cloth, of course, but the basic springs and frames should work fine. GM Divisions worked together (I would surmise) to alter the interior dimensions slightly with padding, etc, so that Pontiac could say that the front seat is wider than a comparable Olds. (This might be only a fraction of an inch at times.)

I'm sorry but I don't know the Olds/Pontiac model designations. The best way to find out which cars are "A" bodies and which are "B" bodies is to study shots of the side windows.
