SpecialEducation Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My wife says she'll take it. Of course, she has no money, so I doubt you two will be able to reach an equitable agreement... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Buick Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hello That's one very nice "cat"! My wife likes it too. Is the price like telephone numbers, (ie lots of digits)? Take care and good luck selling it. John BCA #46404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The styling of that car is beautiful! Mr. Wildcat, did Buick offer red welting on white seats, or any contrasting welting? I've never seen that in a Wildcat before. I know Cadillac offered that feature several years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that that company makes seat covers that are not authentic? (That certainly could be the case for hot-rod customers.) I always like to see cars restored as the factory produced them, and it's great when suppliers help us out with correct reproductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 PUI is a manufacturer of interior parts- seat covers, door panels etc. They used my 65 Custom Wildcat seats - buckets, bench, convertible - to reproduce authentic parts. This is what they look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 65WILDCATCONV Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Those are PUI seat covers and door panels in this car. I instructed them to put the red piping on the white seats, so they are custom made to my specs. I did a few other upgrades like AM/FM stereo with kick panel speakers, wood sport steering wheel. The car was originally blue with standard two tone blue interior. Upgraded to the deluxe interior since that was what PUI offered. If the car has not sold by then, I plan on bringing it to Spring Carlisle. Edited April 5, 2017 by 65WILDCATCONV (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Sorry, I did not know PUI would do a customized version for you. So the car was born a Deluxe, and now it is a Custom interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 65WILDCATCONV Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The car was born with a standard interior, no arm rest on front seat. I got a deluxe front seat out of a salvage yard (with the arm rest) and upgraded the interior seats and door panels to that. I found the door panel metal pieces on Ebay. PUI made new covers and door panels for me, and I had them customize the seats with the red piping. A while back I back I had a 75 Eldorado Convertible that had the white seats with red piping. I always liked the look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
