PO put in Cadillac motorized seats. Not uncomfortable, but a bit awkward and definitely too high (I'm 6' and my gas foot heel doesn't touch the floor). I see others had success with Odyssey mid row takeouts. The Pacifica seats are very similar to my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan which suit me very well. Wondering if anyone has tips or thoughts on what makes (or does not make) a good front seat replacement candidate. Although new front seats are hardly a priority over a variety of general maintenance projects, the clean look and low price makes this set very attractive.

The very worn, but still very comfy Flex-Steel seats that were in my 76 once Palm Beach would seem to me to be hard to beat for comfort. I don't know if they were OEM or were added, but other than having them reupholstered, I don't think I'd be able to find more comfortable seats.

Two out of the three had FlexSteel. I think Norris fitted them in the 23', and the current one had them added. One thing bugs me, the set in the 23' had a lever in the front of the armrest which allowed it to be raised or lowered as desired. The current coach ones have no such lever. Is there any adjustment for the arms?
