[1962 Wildcat Seat Cover Question]

Is there anyone making original style seat covers?  Or anyone making something close in appearance?  Or would you need to buy material from SMS and have your seats redone?

 

Thanks in advance, Chris

Funny thing is, all of my old cars ask me to drive them more often, but just not enough nice days in WA for that, lol

Wow!  Here's another question for you. White or blackwalls with the chrome road wheels?  😄😄

Ps: Any chance we could see a picture of the 66 Skylark?  

Definitely not blackwalls!  White walls or red lines.  :>)

 

Here are a few pics of the 66 that the owner posted online.

Absolutely Chris!  By the way, I see quite the lineup in the background!  May I ask whats all under the covers?

Next to the black Riv is a mid 2010's Mustang, GT350 I think (not mine), next to that a 66 Skylark (not mine), next to that my 79 Camaro Z28.  Back row is my other 65 Riviera Gran Sport, my 70 GS455, a 69/70 Lincoln (not mine), a 67 Skylark convertible (not mine) and a 32-34 Plymouth (not mine).   Not seen to the left is my 71 Riviera GS.  Couple of empty spots in the picture as I was shuffling things around to give myself room to easily move around the car. 

[Raise your hand if you drove at least one old Buick this weekend]

How far do you have to drive it to count?  We had a short break in the rain, so I backed my new 65 Riviera out of the storage building, turned it around, and backed it in, that way I could use the natural light to clean the front end.  Does that count?  :>)

[WW tire options for first gen?]

Well, the red car has 215/75's, and the black car 225/75's.  The black car sidewalls look much bigger, but I think that is because the tires are all black versus having a whitewall.  I guess either size will be fine.

1955 Buick Super.
Very nice car for the age, engine is a 322 cu in nailhead V-8. I had the transmission rebuilt about 3000 miles ago. New gas tank, brakes redone and lots of small stuff repaired or replaced. The car needs door pins replaced, have two sets. Starting to get a couple rust bubbles in the roof. Great car for someone who wants a great driving car to tinker with. Interior is in very good shape with good headliner. Body is straight. Have a couple pieces of chrome off that are getting worked on.
$15,000 OBO. Would like to trade, open to a Jeep or something to tow behind my motorhome. Will not respond to offers with you even looking at the car.

Chris, let me know if you need assistance in decision on which one to like best.....but you probably already know what I would say so its rhetorical I suppose. Congratulations! Amazing that cars this special still turn up and were previously unknown.  

I think I had to wipe down the black at least 3 times last weekend while it was in the garage.  The red one just sat there looking good.  Pretty sure I know which one I will be keeping long term, lol.

The original size 845 is in between a 215 and 225...your call. The 225 looks meaty, the 215 looks "'60's skinny".

I think I will go with 225's, Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy!

Which are correct for a 65, 225/75/15 or 215/75/15?  Or are either one correct?
