Leather Upholstery

[Gary Christensen CLC 21112]

Someone before me reupholstered my 62 Eldorado seats with vinyl.  The good thing is that at least the style of the seats is correct.

I need to find someone to re-reupholster my seats and door panels in leather.  I know this will cost a bundle, see no alternative that I can live with, and am saving my spare change like crazy.

Also Im confused by the various ads I see in which leather seems to be sold separately from the upholstery work.  I assumed that whomever I entrusted my interior to would also have the source for the leather.  How does it work?

To whom should I turn for this job?  Im in CT.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I have had http://www.autoupholsterykits.com TARGET=_blank>www.autoupholsterykits.com  make me leather covers for 2 of my cars.  I sent them the old covers and they made new ones.  I took them off and reinstalled them myself, which isnt too hard as long as you take lots of pictures and take your time.  An upholstery shop could do that for you too. I get lots of compliments on my new interiors.  Everyone thinks theyre original!
