I think I would like to do the interior of my '32 myself. I have never done this before, but it looks fairly simple (?). :rolleyes: All the help and advice you have will be welcomed. Facts: 1. '32 2. cabriolet 3. spare in the rear, so I think this would be a standard not a deluxe model. 4. no ash tray in doors. Do you need any other facts about the car? :confused: Is this doable by a novice? Where do I get the material? :confused:

Hey Gator! You can get the complete genuine leather interior from Hampton Coach in Amesbury, Massachusetts. They advertise in the G&D and they have a quality interior for your car, and you can put it in yourself. They also sell the top as well, but I would suggest getting an expert to put the top on for you. By the way, your cabriolet should have an ash tray in the passenger side door. :eek: :eek:

The pass. side door had been redone by someone before me. Maybe they just covered it over? The material is different. :confused:
I had a professional redo the top last year with a Hamption kit, came out great. :love:
I have read that there wasn't any boot to cover the top when it was down. Is this true? I have a boot but I don't know if it is correct for '32. :confused: When I tried to drive without a boot the top wanted to be a sail. :eek:
Was it real leather inside? or fake leather?

Thanks JYD, I hope if I have to find an ashtray it will not be as hard as finding a '32 crank.

Thanks, I checked my Hampton catalog last night and found the kits. No prices listed in the catalog, I guess they don't want people to have heartattacks. :eek: :eek: :eek: JYD, I am guessing the car on the cover of their catalog is just about your favorite, a 1941 Chevy Cabriolet. :cool2:

HEY GATOR, GIVE HAMPTON A PHONE CALL. ITS FREE AND BEST OF ALL YOU WILL BE TREATED LIKE ONE OF THE FAMILY. MY 32 COUPE HAS THE HAMPTON KIT IN IT AND BEFORE I ORDERED IT, THEY SENT ME SAMPLES AND I HAD PHONE TALKS WITH THEM. THEY BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO HELP ME MAKE SURE I WAS GETTING THE RIGHT FABRIC FOR MY CAR. GOOD LUCK AND YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED IF YOU GET YOR UPHOLSTERY FROM THEM. :) :) :) :)
