SMS keep in stock all original colours of "eagle-fabric". However, because of the lay-out and how often the eagles repeat themselves, the fabric has to be made on a very wide machine in order to get the eagle wings parallel to the thread in the fabric (as it was on the original material). In the past SMS sold fabric that had the wings across the thread, but was made aware of this little error. They told me 4 years ago that their supplier would invest in wide weaving equipment, so probably everything is ok now. Before ordering I would ask the question anyway!

Haven't been following except for this latest below.? Adding my voice, please use correct material.? SMS has it, I am quite sure.? The labor for putting together the upholstery using correct or incorrect material is the same.? The material may cost more.? Folks with any knowledge of the car will immediately know the wrong fabric or pattern was used.? Such a waste of money.? To me, it is crushing to see a beautiful car only to find, upon closer examination, that the incorrect fabric or vinyl instead of leather, has been used.
If you plan to restore an interior with incorrect material, save yourself lots of money and just buy a cheap pair of seatcovers--my two cents.

> SMS and Gary Goers have both been sources that I knew of for the real thing. Of the four of five original colors, I think at the time that I was looking into this the only ones available were blue and gray. I have since seen a couple of cars that have been redone in pink NOS fabric, but I suspect that this pink was reproduction also. Some one told me that there is a difference between the reproduction and the origianl. It has to do with the number of Eagles per sqaure yard. Believe me, installed in the car this was undetectable. > > You should check with them before changing it to some other fabric. Considering the the cost of properly refurbushing the interior, it is well worth the effort to find the correct material and do it right. > > Paul > >?

My brother is going to redo the seats in his 56 and would like to find something similar to what is in it now if possible. The covering now has eagles all over it. > >Also all you Mid West Imperial owners the Mopar Show that is held in Dubuque Iowa will again be held the last weekend in August . The 28th to be exact.
