Seat ID help needed

Wed Nov 05, 2008 3:09 pm

Does anyone recognize this seat and what it may have come out of? Yes, it is in a vintage race car and they are currently restoring and need some help figuring out where it came from.

TIA!

By the way, what is the story on the Cub? Secret Weapon? Pet? Foot Warmer or assistant radio operator?

Oh, and back to the seat.....depending on the height of it, it's possible it came out of the Flight Engineer's position from a B-29. Looks fairly close to the same.

Yup, after further analysis, I concur. It's not a B-29 seat. :oops:

Aha, Mascot! How cool is that!? Wonder how big it got before they had to give it up and how the heck to you find a bear for a pet?

Thanks 1.65!
