Excusses for my English, I know its not perfect!



Have a nice day, see you soon!

Exclamation

Thanks cutlassgal and 72 cutlass455,

how rare is this car in the US?

I'm still looking for some parts.

What I really still want to have, a original (or similar) seat fabric, my frontseat is bad.......

Welcome Lars, beautiful car. We don't see many of them on the road here in that condition.
Don't worry about your English, I'm from the South here and mine isn't too great either (ha).

I will soon have some more pictures, the one I had stood on my camera.
And that was stolen in a burglary ......

So I will have to make new, unfortunately.


If someone can give me an address for the seat covers, I'll be very pleased.

Thank you all for the nice comments by the way!

greets Lars

He James have you used google translate?

This is what you wrote:
If you are a beautiful red head with a cat tattooed on her upper arm. Tell her that you know a man in the U.S. with a 442 convertible.

I think you meant:
If you see a redhead, with a cat tattooed on her arm, telling her that you know a man in the U.S. with a 442 convertible...........

In Dutch:
Als je een roodharige ziet, met een kat getatoeëerd op haar bovenarm, vertel haar dat je een man kan in the VS met een 442 convertible.

But not bad!

Ah, another '62! Nice looking. Someone has already directed you to SMS Fabrics for original seat material. They will have it. I do not know what kind of "parts" you are seeking? 2 possibilities there. Believe it or not, eBay is a good source. The most reputable, and reliable is Fusick's - http://www.fusick.com
