The original seat was in rough shape so we found this one to recover. I wonder what decade it was recovered in?!



New vinyl, NOS cloth.



Blasted/painted the tracks.



Laying out the material for trimming.



Making patterns off a finished seat.





Burlap and thin carpet so the springs don't eat into the foam.

Man that seat came out beautiful

Seat cover looks great, is it a classic parts, or LMC unit? How many $$?

neither one, this one is a semi custom made cover by a company called Automotive Interiors and Accessories Inc in MA, that sells online. You pick the design and colors from their design it window and it comes ready to install. Mine was $285 shipped, and it fit ready well too. Great deal for a custom made cover.

Back in the 60’s this would have been the hit of the show. Pleat and roll was far and away the most desired seat upholstery in inexistence at the time. It’s still one of my favorites. The 4 speed notch is excellently finished. Most young people were happy just to afford a smooth black Naugahyde seat cover – at least until it burned their backside in the sun!
