Title: 59 Caddy upholstery info
Post by: Glen Greenwalt on September 01, 2011, 12:52:46 AM
Hi Gang
Im a new member and recently bought a 55 Caddy 4 door sedan and just yesterday a 59 Caddy 2 dr Cp that has been tucked away in a garage for 21 plus years.

The upholstery in the 59 is dry rotted and pretty tore up. I am looking for distributors where I can order OEM style replacement seat covers, headliner, and carpet. The car is Pinehurst Green with two tone green interior. I think I am going to change the color of both. I have a couple 57 Chevys and repro parts are all over for them...but the Caddy parts seem a little scarce....

Who would you suggest for replacement OEM style cloth/vinyl seat covers. I am not trying to make this a concourse car, just a real nice driver.

Any help/links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Glen

Glen, a Cadillac is not a Chevy...Ready to install seat covers does not exist for Cadillacs if I'm right. You have to buy the cloth/vinyl/leather (depending of the original trim) and let recover the seats.
Material can be found at SMS in Oregon or other suppliers.

Glen,

  You can buy original interior material from Original Auto interiors http://www.originalauto.com/ (http://www.originalauto.com/).  Next you have to find someone to do the repairs/recovering.  I used a Cadillac "Specifications Manual" to ensure that I had the correct materials and colors.  Good luck.
