Anybody know of a source for a 4 way power seat switch for a 1956 ford fairlane

I ran a quick search, and came up with this. Notice, 0 bids. I'd be looking for something close in a junk yard, or maybe a 55-57 bird switch.

Bonanza7369, try these guy's they deal in N.O.S. parts. http://www.greensalescompany.com/ They may not be very cheap as far as price goes though.

Hey Rowen, Maybe that price includes the whole seat? LOL

That's pretty typical of a lot of EBAY sellers. The bad part is when someone actually buys at that price, and then sets the new **** standard. That and the televised auctions are helping put the hobby out of reach for the middle class.

My neighbor has a power front seat from a '56 Crown Vic that he uses for
a lounge seat in his man cave in the back of his garage. Has lots of beer
stains (adds patina) over the 30 years of bench racing get togethers.

May try and look for '56 Lincoln. I know all Premieres came with 4-way power seat. Not sure about Capri. In '57 the Premiere went to 6-way power seat.

The drive system on all of these are an odd worm gear and solenoid system. I replaced my power seat frame and drive system [non-op] with power tracks from a mid-60s Caddy. Works like a charm.
