6’2”

I’m 6 ft 2 in tall, and I got my first chance to sit in the driver seat of a 1930 coupe this evening for a few moments. (I didn’t get the opportunity to actually drive the car.) I was surprised at the snug fit. Is the seat adjustable? Does the Tudor or Fordor have any more room for the driver than the coupe?

Re: 6’2”

I'm 6' 2" and ~195 lbs. I have a '30 Fordor Sedan. I moved the front seat back 3" and bent the shifter 1-2" to the right to give me more leg room. Still plenty of leg room in the back seat.

I have driven Coupes, Roadsters and PUs and they are all just too tight for my liking.

I'm 6' 4" 210lbs 36" inseam. I've tried a pickup, its dangerous! Can't get my legs to cooperate in the confinement. My Fordor was very tight too. I moved the seat back, made a big difference. Was driving one day and was having trouble with the shifter too close to my leg, got disgusted with it and pulled over, grabbed the shift lever about 6 inces from the floor and bent it over where I wanted it! No trouble since.
 
Re: 6’2”

When shopping for my Model A I discovered that the Victoria has the widest doors (I can now get my size 13 shoes in the car! My fused back didn’t take kindly to the original seats so I bolted in some angle iron and installed a set in a set of Honda Prelude seats. I now cruise around in comfort!

Given a couple hours I could restore it to stock setup if I were to sell the car.

Cabriolet has wide doors 68c I removed package tray and adjusted seat back..lots of room .
 
Re: 6’2”

Dunno about Tudors and Fordors but I had an early-30 Sport Coupe that had adjustable seat - I'd guess regular coupes do as well. I'm 6' and with the seat all the way back, I could reach the pedals but any farther back would have been a stretch.
 
Re: 6’2”

I have a 31 sport coupe and am 6'2" around 200. I have the seat as far as back possible without modification, I slide across the seat to get my feet and legs in then slide under the wheel. It's tight, but I can make it work.
I also sat in a PU as though I was driving....Nope, not for me.
 
Re: 6’2”

Have a 30 Tudor. I am 6'4', 225#. I used the longer brackets and still moved the drivers seat back a couple of inches by relocating those extended brackets. Plenty of legroom both in front and back.
It's not a question of "can I drive it", but of will I be comfortable and able to SAFELY operate the pedals? Chap

Billebob,
Can you post some pictures of the Honda seat installation in your 190A. I need to do this.
 
Re: 6’2”

Yes, with the '30 Standard Coupe some people have removed the package tray and moved the seat further back. You gain 3 - 4 inches.

My Coupe is unmodified. I am 5'11" and have the seat adjusted all the way back.

Good luck,

Ken

I'm 6"4 230lbs and have no issues in my 31 coupe. My car is a "hotrod" as some might call it. What I did was removed the package tray and used the middle seat out of a late 80's early 90's Chrysler minivan. I used an adjustable seat rails kit from speedway. There is plenty of room in a coupe if you're not afraid of change.
