Yes it can. All you need is the seat, the mounts, the partition bar, partition, etc... Measurements for installing this stuff can be found on MY WEB SITE.

Well, I miss ALL of the ones I had to sell. I've owned a TON of cars over the years (Camaros, Novas, Chevelles, Corvettes...), but these three were very special.

The 1955 190SL was a very early build (the 518th car built) and was originally owned by Count Bernadotte of Sweden. He purchased the car as a wedding present for his daughter! I wrote to him when I first got it and he was nice enough to reply that he "only drove it a few times, and thought the car was very beautiful, but very thirsty"!

The 1955 Nomad was very rare because it had a lot of factory options, including factory air conditioning. In 1955, that one option alone cost almost $600 (which added another 30 percent to the total price tag) and only a few hundred cars came with it.

The 1969 Corvair was also very rare because 1969 was the final year of the Corvair and only 521 convertibles were built. It also came with the optional 140HP engine and 4 speed.
