G'day everyone. I stumbled across this forum while looking for parts for my new toy a 63 98 holiday sedan, and thought with the wealth of knowledge out there I'd better sign up. Weve had her now for a couple of weeks after a mate spotted her in a backyard covered in dust ( been there for about five years ). After a good clean up and a quick cruise she has been relegated to the shed for a complete front end overhaul bushes,joints, bearings, new braided brakelines and a new crane fireball ignition for a good measure.
My big question is the front and rear bench seats are badly worn and iwas wondering if any members had for sale or new of a place that sold reproduction seat covers or mint originals for the green interior.
Thanks Matt.
P.S photos to come soon.

Matt,

There are no upholstery kits available for these cars because the demand just isn't there. Seat covers will have to be custom made. If you are going the original route, SMS Auto Fabric may be able to supply the original materials. If you contact them with your data plate codes, they will send you samples of what they have that matches.

There is also a Original Auto Interiors, but I've never dealt with them. Looks like their website is down right now.

I contacted SMS regarding fabrics for my '63 98 Holiday Sports Sedan with a Platinum interior and they do have the fabrics, so I think you have a good shot at getting what you need from them.
