Hola Michael

 

There is an cloth company located in Oregon.   I like them because they have a very good catalog of the correct interior of all Imperials, Chryslers, De Soto's, Dodges and the lucky Plymouths of that era.  If you contact them, they will send you an sample of what you spoke about.

 

If you snoop around you will find they are the supplier of some other vendors.  Look at their site and go from there ( http://smsautofabrics.com/ )

 

Oh Yeh, I'll go with the broad cloth selection with the correct carpet.

Subject: IML: 1950's Imperial interiors

We have a 1952 Custom Imperial four door sedan.  Pictures are posted on: Imperials by Year, autobiographies, 1952 Imperial, (the first one listed, click on the blue).  The survivor, which is now BlackImperialRose.

It has grey broadcloth with dark grey leather caps.  It is all original with very low miles (11,503), but does have some wear on the front seat, which is visable in the pictures.

We are very interested in any pictures of interiors in leather that would be identical to that year (era), to use as a guide for restoration.  

We are interested in: (A) leaving it as is, (comments very welcome on advisability of this option), (B) restoring with the original grey broadcloth, or (C) re-doing in leather.

Thanks!
