The seat covers may be useful for a pattern so would take care in removing them. If the original upholstery is under and looks to be halfway decent then I would work more toward saving that, and if not then the covers would be good to get sizes to buy a replacement set or even have some made. Check out Kev's blog for his installation of a set of old covers he found. Don't remember if there was a welt cord on the edges of the original but if so, hopefully that was not cut off when the covers were installed.

Took off the lower seat cover. It was two layers: Padding plus cover. Here is what I found. Not great, not terrible. The hole in the driver's seat is releasing what I believe used to be foam but now resembles clay bar.

The foam in my seats was also petrified. Hence one of the reasons I rebuilt the seats from the springs up.

Hi all! Today is kind of sad. I'm selling the Packard I bought in 2010. It's posted on ebay. I'll never recover the thousands I spend on frame straightening, engine rebuilding, re-chroming, etc. but I do have a lifetime of memories. Here's the ebay link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Packard-Super-Clipper-Club-Coupe-/141970690256?#description
