Hank:

That is great news! I found a photo of what is alleged to be the original fabric, which I have attached. When it comes to measuring how many yards of fabric needed to upholster the seats of this car, remember that the surfaces are stitched into ribs of about 1 1/2 inches each. Needless to say that this adds more to the actual amount you think. I will have to find out the amount; I might have to measure the seats in my car. $95 a yard? Geez, that is expensive! I will let you know what I find out from Original Auto NOS. Maybe they will be cheaper, or at least give us a way to negotiate a better price.
