Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I came across a '30 Dodge sedan for sale on C/L in next door WI that looks to be a very nice car. I won't speak to the price, that's for others to decide. What I found interesting about it is that it seems to have an original leather interior in it. We all know that leather, or leatherette of some kind, was an option in '30s cars from sales literature and parts books, but the few that I've ever seen haven't always looked legit. I think this interior looks like it must be the real thing. Frankly, I'd rather cloth, because this stuff looks pretty industrial or too taxi cab like for my tastes. Still, I thought some of you guys might enjoy taking a look at it: 1930 Dodge. 62,000 miles. Original interior. 10 k or reasonable offer. For more info 715two81six3six2.

alsancle Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm gonna guess it was done in the 40s or 50s. But I'm only guessing and don't have expertise on these cars. I will say that leather in a closed car is very rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Is that Hide'm on the back of the front seat? It is my impression that stuff was not used by the factory. They made the cover, put the seat in it, tacked underneath, put the seat in the car. It is my ignorant impression hide'm allows it to be done from above, without a full pattern - cut to suit - thus cheaper perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Interesting thoughts, gentlemen. I think that it may very well be a vintage replacement after all. I will say that it does seem to be a very thorough job, though. Door panels and kick panels, etc. Edited January 19, 2017 by Hudsy Wudsy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgedh2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The hiden is the same as that which was on my 31 DH w/original upholstery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwellens Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 You could get leather on any 1930 Chrysler model sedan for $20 -$40 extra. I would assume it was available on Dodge also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintchry Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Could this be a carry over from the Type "B" Business Sedan of the 24-26 era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm glad, at least, that a few of you think it looks quite vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
