Welcome to the group Bob, nice looking Chrysler.

Btw Tom that front seat was used by Mopar for a number of years. Not only 
was the driver's side back higher then the passenger side but you'll notice 
that the split in the seat back and the upholstery pattern on the bottom is 
not in the middle of the seat. It was called a 60/40 split back seat. (I 
hate admitting that I'm old enough to remember these things when they were 
new) I'm sure Virgil Exner had something to do with this design. He was 
getting into asymmetrical designs before he got fired from Chrysler. My 
understanding is that the wind splits on the hood and trunk of the 62 
Plymouth were supposed to be offset to one side but they moved them to the 
center before the car went into production.
