Hello to the group! I am considering the purchase of a 1968 98 Convertible and was hoping some of the members here might be able to point me in a good direction.

The car is going to need a new top and interior. I'm not worried about locating a top or carpet and door panels. What I would like to know is if anyone is reproducing upholstery kits for this car. If not, will I have to have the seat upholstery stitched (and how costly is that)?

I am just trying to get a feel for what I would be getting myself into cost wise.

Is there another GM car whose upholstery would fit this 98?

I am no stranger to Oldsmobiles, but this would be the first restoration work on a full size Olds. I do own a 1968 Delmont conv., but the upholstery only has one tear so it's OK for now.

Well, I will stand-by for any advice and/or opinions you folks might have to offer!

Thanks!!
