I have been corresponding with Doug, the owner of SMS Interiors. To
make a long story short I asked why his company only offers a substitute
and not the original 56 Fury material for the seat inserts. At least
3 time I bought several yards of the original 56 Fury material from
SMS but as of about 10+ years ago they switched to something that looks similar
without the gold strands,----new fabric wears better but it is not what
came in the cars from the factory. ( original with gold metal strands was
beautiful, but did not wear well BACK WHEN WE WERE DRIVING THE CARS
EVERYDAY.) Doug, told me he has not seen the old original material that
they used to sell 10+ years ago. My one Fury has the original material which was
bought from SMS. It is an exact duplicate of the factory material.
Doug asked me if I could get him a small piece of the
original factory or original SMS 56 Fury material like they used to sell, and
then he could see if they could duplicate it.
Do any of you guys know where I can get a SMALL
piece of this original factory or original old SMS
material?
It has tiny gold super thin metal strands
running all through the material. If he is willing to duplicate it for us
it will keep our 56 Fury's AACA correct----please help me to get a small
piece to him for duplications. Look under your seat for extra material, some
times it is just folded under. This is a great opportunity for us 56 Fury
owners -----please let's try to give Doug the small piece of original gold
strand material he asked for, so he can try to duplicate it for
us.
E mail me if you have any questions.
Thanks guys,
Ron Allyn Swartley
