VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 27 interior

My 27 Sports Cabriolet has leather for the front seat and the rumble seat. It has been this way since at least 1938. Was leather an option in 1927 for the "sporty" cars?

My 28 convertable cabriolet has leather on the front seat and the rumble seat is imitation leather (it still has the original upholstery)

Former VCCA President, the late Doug Bell, said the following in his book "Early Chevrolet History"

"The body styles offered at the time of announcement were the same as in 1926 plus the new Sport Cabriolet. This was a non-convertible, soft top sport coupe with a rumble seat - the first in the low priced field. The first color for the Cabriolet was Royal Oak Green, which was quite similar to the turquoise used on Chevrolets in the mid-50's. A tan top and tan leather upholstery made this a very sport car in it's day."

I thank all of you, and now my 89 year old father can be sure his memory is still working.
