bucket seats that fit!

The wife and I spent the day at the salvage yard looking for a set of bucket seats for HER chopped 51, we have a real nice set of buckets,(don't know what from ) looks like from a astrovan or something, both have armrests, and power driver adjustment, with headrest.
My head touches the roof!, so, off we went.

..just wanted to share what we found that would work..

PT cruiser,,some have armrest, some don't but a little thick at the back for us big guys

Ford explorer--, no armrests, but a tall back bucket..

Saturn car--, very low for chopped trucks and a thin back to get a little more leg room

Chrysler Sebring !!! our winner!!,----it has a headrest but that can be removed before recovering( we don't want the headrest showing in the rear window)
it sits low..9-10 inches from floor to top of seat compared with stock 13" or tall van type seats, they are both manual controls, with a lumbar adjust, and it is thin at the back.

we looked at 300's and concordes, but the seats were very thick at the back which used up precious room.

hope this helps someone narrow it down...
