Refering to a 48 Fleetmaster sports sedan.
Some 10 years ago I purchased my 48 as a project car from a gentleman who was buying and selling old cars from his backgarden.The complete interior was striped out and the front seats were completely gone,the back seats were still there but in a very bad condition. I found the front seats and some other parts from someone who had a donor 4 door car for his 2 door coupe.I asked around for offers for a complete interior and I got prices that should be more appropriate for an 8 seat private jet so I forgot about it.
I asked some dealers in the USA for a set of seat covers the price was reasonable but by the time I had them here in The Netherlands after paying shipping mport taxes and 19% value added tax the price should be 350% higher and the materials should not be the correct ones in anyway.
After that I decided to compromise and try doing it all by myself.I got a NORS set of vinyl seat covers They were ment for a 210 Chevy for a nice price from eb..!!. plus a few yards of modern vinil and headliner material.Using an old sewing machine I manage to make a complete interior. It looks ok from 25 feet away!!
The rest of the car other than a modern carb a battery and tyres is the same as it left the factory.I should like to slowly get the interior as near to the proper specifications too.
Now my question is : Is there a company or an individual who sells blueprints for seat covers? So I can try to find the correct cloth and make the seats look proper.
Thank you in advance
