Location: the Great Northeast		Hey All,

Starting to get serious about getting the 61 Newport 4dr updated. It looks like next spring for paint. Interior needs to get serious too.

It's a big deal for me to get as close to original as possible.

I am looking for original (or as near as I can get it) seat covers. The interior is black/grey (almost white). It is black and grey vinyl and black fabric. I don't have any pics of the front so I took green and burgundy front seats and went to grey scale.

My back seat is the first pic and the rest are there to give you an idea of what they should look like.

I am looking for either a) complete matching seat covers I can give to my upholsterer or b) the black fabric in sufficient quantity for him to make up seat covers for me. The vinyl should not be that hard to match.

Can anyone suggest where to go to get either?

Thanks!

Check with SMS on price and ask for a firm delivery date.

The following solution has been recommended many times-

I found NOS fabric for approximately $400 through someone similar to SMS. I then had a local hot rod upholstery shop provid the vinly and labor for Aproximately $1400. This was a few years ago, but may still be a good reference.

Location: the Great Northeast		I went to the SMS website and made a request for the #704 grey cloth. They will ship me a sample and price quote. I am stoked!
