Title: Interior trims and skins ?
Post by: Belgium1958owner on November 06, 2014, 04:57:13 PM
Hi every body,

I hear that Jenkins Interior no more exists.
Do you know an other address where I could find seats skins (and doors skins) in genuine leather for my 1958 ?

Thanks forward,
Emmanuel

Emmanuel,
  Hi.  I use Bill Hirsch Automotive in Newark NJ. He is an old timer, very knowledgeable, and was big into Rolls-Royce, Packards, etc. He owns quite a few cars himself and is very active in the vintage car community from Pebble Beach to local shows. He is a blast to talk to and has a warehouse full of Leather, Carpeting, Materials, Paints, and most all needed interior/ exterior fabrics for high end restorations. He will dye anything for you to match. Fortunately, I live a few towns away so it's convenient. He's been there since I was a youngster. I won't use any other engine enamels on my cars but his. He has the closest color matches and the best looking engine enamel I have ever used. Show quality results and it holds up better than anything else. Give him a shout, you have nothing to lose. Hope this helps! Good luck,
                                                                                                                                                                          Bob

Emmanuel - Go to the Forum's " General Discussion " section - about eight posts down - " Current Experience With Jenkins Interiors " . Jenkins happened to read my post and sent me an email to thank me for my comments and said he was waiting for me to get started on my 57 Biarritz . So I'm pretty certain he's still in business . I have his most recent email address and tel number somewhere with my paperwork . If you need them , let me know and I'll find them for you . His tel number may actually be the same number he has used for a while , which is 336-667-4282 . Hope this helps . .. Paul Tesone ( tess352@yahoo.com ) CLC #6876 .

Jenkins is definitely still in business. I talked to Hill last week.
He can also match any color and texture for your interior.
