I would venture a guess that it was recovered at some point. I don't think I have seen any factory one's before, but hey I could be wrong too.. Anyone else?

I don't think even Chevy was crazy enough to put leather in the sun with a magnifying glass above it

The PO said that the blazer was given to him brand new in 73 by a indian tribe(forgot which) for services rendered in helping to educate native american youth and getting them into college. Guess they had the upholstery done before giving it to him. thanks anyway
