'55 Upholstery Archeology

Fixing a part of my front upright and adding 1" foam to bottom. Some cool codes and pictures.


Airfoam, still in great shape!

71 Trim Code (371 Ivory Leather Bolster, Black Pattern Cloth), 9301 matches the Cowl tag Body number.



The seat frame P/N must be 4642372

Took the whole cover off. That went to the upholstery shop.


Bottom after adding 1" high density foam under existing foam.

Original carpet still.

Here is my seat back. I had one section repaired.



Can you tell which side was replaced?

Final comparison. Bottom has 1 inch of foam added and tear repaired, seat back has replaced cloth (yes it was from $MS Fabric in Oregon). I also repaired a couple of cracks/breaks on the seat trim piece and painted it.
