LSE167 had double bucket seats that are listed on the inventory card as:
"American Wicker Works air cushion bucket type seats"
Does anyone out there have access to a catalog or something that would show such seats or dimensions or details?

thanks

There was a book published by Richard Wagner in 1965 on the Cincinatti curve side cars which clearly show this form of seat installed in the cars which were bought used from Cincinatti by Georgia Power and which ran in the suburban Marietta / Stone Mountain service. The resemble the double bucket seats seen on some roller coasters and very old automobiles. Try Powells, that's where my copy came from.

Thanks Dave

Attached is a picture from Daves Rail pictures of the interior of a Texas Electric Car with very similar seats. The only difference between these and the LSE is that the LSE had higher rounded backs. Note the narrow aisle due to the narrow interurban body ... I guess folks were slightly smaller in 1915 ???

Many thanks to Dave and the Texas Historical Society for this and other photos they have made available on the WWW.

Check out Crandic 118 at Seashore; it has a set of these.
