at asheville a few years ago there was a GT hawk with a late 80's-early
90's T-bird/Cougar interior, it looked right!

If you want to stay with all Studebaker stuff, you will need to find a
rear seat from a 53-57 C or K body to fit without mods. The bucket
seats and console from a GT Hawk will bolt right in however, all you
need to do is screw the little sheetmetal mount for the console to the
floor pan in the right location and everything else falls right
together.
good luck,

Chrysler. >> Stay informed about: interior for 53 champion pro street ? |

No, sir. I used Buick Riveria front buckets, original Stude rears, both
recovered to my taste.
I do remember somebody using the Lincoln seats, don't remember who, but it
wasn't me.
Glad you thought of me, though. <G>

Supposedly, seats from a Lincoln Versailles are a near perfect fit...
