Hi there,
I'm hoping someone might have some advice for me. I own a 65 Dart, 225, 4 Door. I've had her for 18 years. In the last few months, both the upholstery and the headliner have really started to degrade, and it's making me sad
. I was referred to an upholstery guy near me by my mechanic and the guy I bought my car from, who I run into a couple times a year. I took her in there on Friday but after looking through many of his samples there was nothing that matched the color or style (mainly the color - metallic turquoise/sea mist green). If I wanted to go all vinyl - no problem, but I don't. So, he suggested that I try and hunt for some upholstery. Are there any places I should be looking? I've looked at Legendary Auto Interiors but after putting in the specs of the car it's only coming up with upholstery kits - not actual upholstery.I will add that what's in there now is NOT the original upholstery! They are actually covers which were put in soon after the original owner sold it in the early 90's. I only recently discovered this AND the original upholstery is still in there!!!
Finally - were bucket seats the norm for this year? I have bench seats in both front and back, but in the research I've done so far it appears that might not be standard? I'm wondering if the bench seat in the front was swapped in later!?
I'm attaching some photos for reference.
thank you!
Dina
