· Hot Rod Seats

For today's custom Hot Rods we offer our Zeppelin seats.

Zeppelins were custom built in the 20's and 30's to the most comfortable standards and the ultimate in saving weight for their transcontinental "flights".

As many Hot Rod builders are using bomber seats, which look very cool but lack any comfort, we have created these seats to offer custom built comfortable, lightweight seats. Minimal in structure, these seats do not lack any of the comfort our other seats offer, but still look period correct.

The Zeppelin line seats come in all applications to fit your car and custom built, with duralastic belts for the extra comfort you might lack and the choice of headrests you never had.

Please contact us, so we can assist you to find the right seat and application for your project.

It is the perfect seat for classic Italian and British sports cars from the 1950's to the early 70's as well as for roadsters and hot rods as an old style seat with the side support one always wished for.

   
 
   

· Hockenheim Seats

The Hockenheim is the famous race track in the heart of Germany that has seen many victories for BMW and other German classic sports cars and sedans since the late 1940's.

We named our seat Hockenheim in memory of all BMW successes. The cars were often equipped with Scheel seats and we created the Hockenheim to resemble the Scheel 300 featured in the BMW's and the 914's of that time.

The Hockenheim offers high lateral support, high knee support, a new lap belt opening as required by today's sport rules and duralastic belts for additional comfort on longer events and drives.
