A good upholstery shop should be able to replace the
torn leather pieces, while keeping the good original
pieces.  Some really good information about leather
seats is available on our club website at
http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Interior/Leather/. 
I have also used the Leatherique products that Kerry
describes on this page, and would recommend them
(http://www.leatherique.com/).  And the Leatherique
will help improve the fragrance of the seats as well.

Are you anywhere near Clarksville, TN?  We go through
there all the time on the way to visit my wife's
family in Indiana.

Sure hope we see you there!  I'll have my '71 Imperial
there, so you can see how the Leatherique worked on
the seats.
