Anyone use National Chevy Association lately for a complete upholstery job on a '49 chev or around that year? Header, panel, seats, ect.
I think I'm a fairly wise person because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.

Should of added, "Just for the material only."

A friend purchased the upholstery set from NCA for his 1951 Chevy.
The appearance of the upholstery reminded me of the square type pattern seen on a mid 50's "Del Ray".
Upholstery fit well, certainly not original in appearance, but OK for the money spent, if "stock appearance" is not a concern.

Thanks bobg1951chevy. It does not have to be the exact color, just so the fit is OK so this helps. I only live about 130 miles from a store in St. Paul, Mn and will stop by their store when I'm down there. Did he get the vinyl or cloth? There is also an Amish shop in the country here and he said he might be able to do it. A friend had one done there very reasonable.

Color AND pattern were not the same as factory.
His upholstery is the cloth.
Again, the fit is good, no loose or sloppy fit.
I may have a pic, will look.

I did find a pic, BUT the pic is taken from outside of vehicle. Only the very top of the front seat back is visible. Not much help, but if you would like this pic, I will send it to your email address.

Looks like they don't make the '49 upholstery.
