niiice...    do you know how much early splitty middle seats sell for
nowadays?   IIRC the 59-62 style has the aluminum bar on the back...   i had one i
sold for $400 a few yrs ago...the mango green one.. from a tu-tone mango green
'59 standard micro..even had the side trim piece that covered the legs.., and
the guy was thanking me for giving him a good deal on it!  :<)

i heard of a guy in Tokyo paying $1000 for one....for just the frame!!  and
then shipping on top of that too.
those Japanese are crazy for the splittys...

since i sold my '67 im out of the splitty parts loop.. but thats where the
real money is at..  vintage stuff..
