1957 60-Special upholstery material

[gary griffin]

My 1957 upholstery has had clear plastic seat covers since it was new and is almost prefect with the exception of the tops of the seats. A previous owner from California allowed the car to sit in the sun too long and I need a few yards of Light Blue Trim61A to have them repaired. I have sent samples to a couple of suppliers with no response. If I can not find it I am in for a big re-upholstery job

I just received a sample from one of the suppliers and it is so close I will be able to use it Only difference is that it is not a stretchy as the original. SMS originally told my upholsterer they did not have it but I sent larger samples and they did find it.

Ive thought about doing this with my 57.  Do you have photos to share?

Glad you finally heard back from someone.  I hope you get your order...

If you think getting materials for the '57 is tough, try finding it for a '91.

Hi Gary,  Try contacting Carl Kranston in Virginia.  He might have what your looking for.  He did the leather in my 57 Eldo and it came out very nice.
