FYI - Legendary Auto Interiors has acquired American Cushion Industries, Inc. (ACI)

Today marks a significant milestone in our journey, and I’m honored to share this announcement: Legendary Auto Interiors has acquired American Cushion Industries, Inc. (ACI). This union brings together two organizations that have long stood side by side — both dedicated to restoring, preserving, and elevating the muscle car experience.

Since 1983, American Cushion Industries (originally Aero Interior Corporation) has been an industry pioneer. Founded by Patrick and Arlene Burke, ACI began in aircraft interiors but quickly evolved into producing certified seat cushions for airlines — a legacy of precision and performance. By 1987, ACI transitioned into the collectible car market, pioneering seat foam replacements for American-built muscle cars of the 1960s and 1970s. Their commitment to quality, service, and innovation made them the leader in their field.



At Legendary Auto Interiors, we have long admired and respected ACI’s work. Their craftsmanship, dedication to perfection, and the trust they’ve earned over decades mirror our own values. That’s why we’re proud to carry their legacy forward under the Legendary banner — maintaining the same service, quality, and innovation that defined ACI. The same people who built ACI’s reputation will remain part of the team, ensuring continuity and consistency.



As we relocate the manufacturing and tooling, we expect to have product available at the end of January 2026.

Once production begins at our Legendary facility, East Coast shipping costs will be reduced, making it even easier and more affordable to receive ACI-quality products.

For you, our customers, this means:
  • Continued access to the renowned ACI seat cushions, foam systems, and support you’ve come to depend upon.
  • The combined expertise of two trusted names — Legendary’s muscle car interior heritage and ACI’s technical cushion mastery.
  • New opportunities for product development, greater inventory support, and a seamless transition that honors the past while driving into the future.
We deeply respect what Patrick, Arlene, and their team built — not only a business but a reputation rooted in authenticity and passion. Our commitment is simple: to continue offering the quality and service that ACI has delivered for decades, backed by the same integrity that earned their leadership status.

On behalf of everyone at Legendary Auto Interiors, thank you for your trust, your passion, and your continued support of the muscle car community. We’re excited about what comes next and what we’ll accomplish together.

Warm regards,
The Legendary Auto Interiors Team

Sorry but I don’t see that as a benefit.
