I am at the point of interior on my 38 sedan. I ordered samples from Lebaron Bonney. The seats I have are very old, I have always assumed original, but now I am questioning myself. First, the seats are tan, what I would relate to a camel type tan. I took a sample from the lower back of the front seat where I thought would be the least fade and it is not even close to the samples I received. Secondly, the front seats are two separate bucket seats. Not anything new type buckets, old looking buckets. The backs of the seat slightly wraps around. Before I buy a kit, can someone comment on what is right, wrong..etc. Thanks!!

Pictures or links to pictures might help. I believe a tan mohair was a pretty standard interior in 38. They all tended to fade pretty significantly over 80 years as well.Your interior could have been redone decades ago as well and it too now looks old...

The Standard Coach has bucket seats.
The Deluxe Coach has a bench with flip backs.
A 4 door sedan used bench seats.
The repop Taupe mohair is darker than the original.
Sorry, I don't know how to post photos.
