nick8086 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Should I sell them or scrap them? Fit Kaiser, Hudson and Nash.. Edited August 17, 2018 by nick8086 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I brought some to Hershey a couple of years ago, same thing, new in the box, and they fit more common cars (Ford, Buick). Sold them for about $20 a box....so yes, you can sell, but very limited market and not much money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) We're all interested in the history of cars. Car covers such as these were available at Western Auto and other places that are now just memories. Even though they were not often bought at a dealership, they tell the story of life in the 1950's. Yes, keep them for history's sake; don't discard them! AACA may not recognize after-market accessories, but someone has to. One of my cars has 1957 after-market floor mats produced by Wooster Rubber Company, the forerunner of Rubbermaid. That's what the original owner evidently bought in 1957. I value them highly--how would I ever replace them? I wouldn't mind seeing a car with authentic vintage seat covers at a show.

Rusty_OToole Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Try selling them on this site, if no one wants them try Ebay. They will sell and probably for more than you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I like them. John348 nailed it, people put them on to keep the upholstery new. It was so common then and now you never see them. When you do see them it really gives the car a connection to the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
