I purchased enough fabric from SMS Fabric in I took the car seats to the upholstery guy this week and,
low and behold, the fabric is a very nice green color. I called SMS
and they indicated that this was the correct fabric, that dye lots vary and
unless they have fabric from another dye lot, there isn’t anything they
can do. I would love to have original fabric in the car, but the
color is way off from the trim color of gray; the fabric truly is a light green.
Any suggestions about other sources of original “eagle” fabric? If
not, does anyone have a suggestion of other fabrics that might be of the same
period but gray, in color, not green? I have sent the chrome off for plating and am trying to get
everything back as original as possible. Incidentally, the car is black with a
white top. Thanks |
