Narve N Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) I have a 52 Saratoga with rotten interior and in order to be an enjoyable classic the seats must be reupholstered in hopefully a correct grain of fabric. The enclosed pictures show my current fabric and what SMS in Oregon can offer as a "exact replacement". To me the colors are good, the texture (wool) is good, but the pattern is only similar with the top fabric as best match. Anyone know about a better source for upholstery?

61polara Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Your upholstery looks good. Have you thought of having it removed and dry cleaned. I know of restorers that have done this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 The initial picture is of the back seat which is complete although possibly rotten and the top of the back is sun-burned. The front seat is falling apart. I was hoping that a good match for the front seat would enable me reusing the rear original with patches from the front.

Narve N Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 No further comments? Her is an outside photo to draw some interest. The car will not be painted, but I am looking for the missing "shiny" bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
