Hi everyone,
Just wondering if I could get some local knowledge from you in where to get seat material for my 1959 Ninety Eight Holiday Sedan. The body is Emerald Mist and matching green and white interior. The seat material is a mid green colour with a type of fleck through it. DSC02264.JPG

I have been looking at a few sites in America for restoration gear such as
Fussick, USPartssupply, year one. Can anyone suggest a particular one or any others to look at for general resto parts. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
regards
Dawso.

Here's an older post discussing original fabric. I've never purchased from them, but there have been several posts discussing a company called SMS that's not cheap but comments posted on this site say they're very good. John

Hi John, thanks for the advice and comment. Yes shes' a fairly clean car that dosn't really need much stuff done only what I want to do, other than that very solid. I notice you have a chev truck mines a Maple leaf 54 about a 2 to 3 tonne. Hopefully on the road soon. I'll check out sms.
Thanks
John Dawson.

Hi again; You keep calling your Olds a sedan and with only one door on the drivers side it looks like a coupe to me...

Hasn't this car got 4 doors? Oh heck...

Almost any 2 door car in Australia is called a coupe also, just going off whats in the 1959 Oldsmobile service manual. Says '2 door sedan' next to series 88, (I didn't look further down the list yet to 98). Oh well much prefere to call it a coupe or a hardtop as thats what I payed for.

An what sort of mean looking car is that on your profile photo..nice.
