I always thought that the 70's SAAB Sonetts had a clever lumbar pad. It was
basically a semi arch shaped pad that could be raised or lowered on a cloth
"track".  worked quite well. now if your werent terrified half to death
driving the fiberglass 2 seater--it was quite a comfortable ride. (as you
can tell--I've dabbled in saab V4s) it was a nice fiberglass seat with
lumbar pad
