Re: 1947 Packard Clipper Deluxe Upholstery

I have several samples from SMS and one was an exact match to the striped broadcloth of my Super Clipper. If I am correct the Deluxe and Super Clippers used the same fabric with the Custom have the solid colours wool cloth. I located an unfaded sample from under the seat and mailed it to SMS and they sent back an almost perfect match. Perhaps unfortunately I didn't buy the fabric as at the time the Canadian dollar was trading at about 65 cents US and the fabric was priced at about $115US per yard and the cost was prohibitive for me at the time. I can look up the sample take a photo for you or mail you the sample which matched my Clipper. Here is a photo of the rear seat of my Packard with the original upholstery. Is it similar to yours? Sorry for the poor quality!
