Working on the rear seat of my 53 Cavalier and have a question.
The welting in the below picture, where I have the blue arrows, has a wire core rather than plastic like everywhere else. It has about an extra 6" on each end and was hog ringed back to a seat spring. (The front seat, which has the same pattern but no armrest, had a plastic cord below the pleats.) I suspect using the wire has something to do with the back seat being 3 pieces and the armrest, but not sure why.
When I make a new cover I think it's best to copy what Packard did, but does anyone know they reason they used wire instead of the plastic in only these two places?
