Re: [Chrysler300] Front Seat Comfort

["Jim Maiani" <jmaiani@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All.  I (and everybody that sits in it) believe that my H has wonderfully 
comfortable seats.  They seem to be as comfortable as my living room 
recliner. (and they're only 51 years old).  Did they change things by '62 if 
yours are so bad?
