Title: Fabric Sources?
Post by: JerryinTX on November 02, 2022, 06:49:21 PM
I am ready to have the interior of my 48 Plymouth redone.  Got quotes for seat fabric 20 years ago and thought $59.95/yd was high (Hampton Coach). Today I got a similar fabric sample quote from SMS Auto Fabrics, and am pretty shocked at what has happened to fabric prices - now $149/yd!  Has anybody here had their seats done lately, and if so what fabric source did you use?  I am re-thinking my intention of keeping the interior as original.  Should have done it 20 years ago!

Jerry,
Is a shop going to do your work ?  They should have books of samples to order.

If not, is there an upholstery shop in your area (auto or home) ? They will have sample books
of materials you can order.

Have you checked Hemmings Motor News ads ?  Also check with your Plymouth Owners Club Tech
Advisor.

Thanks Bill!  That's exactly what I've decided to do and I think I've located an upholstery shop that does old cars. I definitely want them to do the seats and may have them do the door panels if the price is right.  Otherwise, my wife and I will do the door panels.
