HI:
Just wondering here now just thinking that maybe someone else ran into this before I did, has anyone taken the fabric off the front seats of a Deluxe Tudor Sedan?
Well I have and ran into something kind of funny with it and not expected but here is what I found in the driver's seat of my car, it was a pillow made by Burton-Dixie out of Chicago, Ill as there was a tag on the pillow saying who made the pillow and all.
But now I want to know if anyone else ran into this before on either seat as this is the first time I ran into this never heard about this before so I kind of wondering if anyone else ran into a pillow inside the driver's seat, or the passenger seat as well as I haven't got to the passenger seat back part as of yet as I'm just wondering what I will all find on that seat as well.

Please let me know either way on this or if you ever heard of that company
 
Probably not original. Creative reuse by previous owner or upholstery guy.


Burton-Dixie was a prominent Chicago-based bedding company, and
its history is often tied to the career of John Sevcik, who worked his way up from a stock boy in 1949 to become the company's president. Sevcik went on to hold significant civic positions, including his role as General Manager of McCormick Place. While the company was a major manufacturer, its primary historical significance appears to be through the later civic career of one of its leaders, not the company's own long-term history.


More like being born with a gold spoon in your mouth rather than a silver one.

HI;

The seat I have looks to be original seat fabric on the seat as when I bought the seat this year, and it looks to be all original as the reason why I bought the seat is because it was all original fabric and all, but I was surprised to find the pillow inside the seat and when I go into reupholstering the seat I'm going to reuse the pillow as it's in very good shape, but I was just wondering if the pillow is a common thing in the Ford Deluxe seats. Or not as if I find a pillow in the passenger seat as well then I will know that Ford used the pillow in the Deluxe front seats, and that is why I'm trying to find out if anyone else found a pillow in the Deluxe Drivers seat or the passenger seat as well and if not original it must of been reupholstered a long time ago reason is the passenger seat has the same nails in it and the tacks in it as the driver's seat has so I think that the seat I have hasn't been reupholstered at any time in it's life.

The seat I have for my car are not original to the car as my car when I got it had 28/9 black and white checkered front seats in it, so I bought the original seats for the car I have now that are suppose to be in the car as now the driver's seat has the sliders on it and is one half inch wider than the passenger seat as the car has been in the family all it's life, so the only thing I don't know about the car is the front seats of the car as I wanted the original type seats for my car, and it took me a long time to find the original type seats for my car, but I when I bought the driver's seat the guy told me that it was all original seat as it sat in a barn for years before the guy put it up for sale and I do know it came out of a Vicky and those cars are Fords top end of the cars back in the day. So Now you know what I know about my drivers seat as I know it was never been reupholstered before as the guy had the Vicy since it was new as he bought the car brand new and the seat I have is out of that car as he sold the car in parts why he did that is beyond me but he did as midwest tin guy is who I bought the driver's seat from real nice guy paid a lot for the seat more than I wanted to just to get a original seat for the car that had everything for the seat and now I have a complete driver's seat.
