I don't think the production seats were in the chassis photo, both seats are a butt pad with a metal tube loop for back support. Maybe there was a lower back pad but we cannot see from this angle. The seat straddling does not look dress friendly, I bet women hated the tandem seating.

Several versions of the car were built and presented to the Government for evaluation, much to their annoyance. The automobile association demonstrated the car's impracticality by assigning their tallest SS test driver to drive the car in a 12 hour endurance test. Needless to say the driver's report was less than complimentary. In 1938 the Schell Plan put a stop to all further passenger car development at Framo.
Hatters gotta hate, someone in the automobile association had it out for this car.
