Seats
Seat cushions and cushion backs in Hudson-built bodies have been
designed to afford the maximum of driving comfort to both driver and
passenger. Cushions arc deep, have an unusually comfortable coil spring
arrangement and padding effect to hold the cushion form in pleasing
appearance after long service.
The front scats in all models are adjustable to suit the individual
driver's needs and comfort. While on long drives it is often desirable to move
the seat location slightly to change the body position for a short time to
relieve driving strains. This arrangement is also designed to accommodate the
driver's leg length.
The Brougham and Convertible Brougham front seat cushions are the
same full-length type used in Sedan models; however, the cushion back is built
in two sections, each section of which may be tilted forward indepen-
dently of the other. The entire scat is pivoted at the left front corner and
can be moved on an arc, forward and to the left side to provide ample
room for entrance and exit to and from the rear compartment.
In the 4-Passenger Coupe model, in which a scat has been provided directly
behind the driver's position for the extra passenger, the front seat is also of
the full-length Sedan type with the cushion hack built in two sections,
each section of which may he tilted forward independently, and is pivoted
at the left front corner to afford ample room for entrance and exit to and
from the rear compartment.
In the 3-Passenger Coupe and Convertible Coupe. the seat is of the full
bench type and adjustable forward and backward.
Seat Adjustments—Forward and Backward
In all models the entire front seat may be moved forward or backward
by means of an adjustment operated with a rubber tipped lever (A), Figure
30, located near the bottom on the left side of the seat frame. To adjust the
seat merely raise the lever by the pressure of a linger of the left hand, as
illustrated, and release it as the desired position is obtained.
Seat Adjustment on Arc
The front seats in the Brougham, Convertible Brougham and 4-Passen-
ger Coupe models can be moved on an arc by merely tilting the passen-
ger section of the seat back slightly forward to unlock the mechanism and
pulling the seat forward by gripping the instrument panel. By moving the
seat back to its normal position the seat is again locked.
Inasmuch as the two seat adjustments mentioned above operate independently
of each other, it is possible to move the seat forward by lifting the locking
handle (A), Figure 30, at the left front corner and also move the seat on
an arc at the same time.
