WTB Schwinn 3 Rivet Red Seat with Crash Rail

[kevin323]

Looking for a seat in good original condition or restored. Should have 3 rivets, red, and “Schwinn approved” back label, with crash rail. This is for a 1962 Schwinn Corvette.

GT will have the info but being a 62 it would likely have a 2 rivet seat like this one.

His Corvette is an L15 serial so he could probably go either way. From what I’ve seen there was a lap over on the two seats.

Are you offering that beautiful seat, Bob?

Should have done a little in house research as my 62 Corvette has a 3 rivet!! M11 Dec 61

GT Just got this at a antique show a couple weeks ago!!! Sitting in with a bunch of crap seats. Had to replace the springs but rest was nice. GT you know me I very rarely sell much as I know I will need it a month after selling it.

That seat looks almost brand new! I’d love to find one in that shape.

From my searching it seems like the red seats got hit the hardest by sun damage.

Interesting notes there Bob. No Corvette 5's have shown up with a Dec 61 serial. I guess the 5 speeds didn't run down the line with the other Corvettes. Kevin's L15 is a 5 speed and the last one of the Nov. numbers on the list. It was equipped with the 3 rivet.

GT: Not to hijack Kevins thread but maybe he would like the info. On mine I'm confident the rear rack was added when it was sold whenever in the year that was., Maybe a paperboy. I was wondering about the pumpkin. I think I am good on it.
