1949 Buick Convertible Boot Cover Pattern Needed

[Dan O]

Does anyone have a source for a pattern for one of these?  I see the snaps to secure one in place on the back seat area but do not have a pattern to go by.

Dan,

I am about 6 months away from the same issue. I am restoring a 49 and I will need a boot cover at some point. Neither my project or my parts car had one to go by.  I will be following this topic to see if you find a solution. Thank you.

QSide - Nice Super you have there - this man in New York is the best for correct tops, I have been told by someone that knows restorations: Putt Georgi - http://aro2000.com/221_order_form.htm 

I just asked him if he has a pattern - he did not 9 years ago.

Ya I reached out to them for the boot liner. No one seems to have one of those either. I was able to salvage a rotten one off of my parts car to use as a template. My daughter is going to try to make me one out of awning canvas. we will see how it comes out.

Maybe try Cadillac sources?  Should be the same.  There's a place called Cadillacs of the 1940's, I think in California...

I have one on my 49. The top could be the very first, the cover I don't know. But - I am in Germany. I can make pictures, measure dimensions, whatever you need.
