Ok, so agree leather seats is correct, or with bedford cord.
Wool carpet correct, prob light brown color. If seats in cream and convertible top in cream, would this be better? Door panels would be in leather too, or PVC ? Engine Gray for sure. For seats, was foam used to stuff the seats? (more with when restoring seats), or some other material ? Could not wire wheel covers be used?

When putting carpet down on the Super Eight Convertible, 1948, should it be wool? And what color? If car is green.

Just out of interest, I got a quote to have body of car dipped to remove paint. Here in England, quote was (converted in US Dollars )
$1,518 plus vat. How does this price compare to American prices? Has any members done it this way to save time?

The flat bed i would brush, and smooth top spray. I would buy as suggested by earlier posts, a refill spray container. Add chrome nuts to finish off. hopefully, engine will look ok. i am guessing if you wish, a lighter shade of gray would be acceptable.

I saw Big Kevs post of painting engine, and trouble with getting correct packard gray, but after a while, color seemed to settle down to a lighter shade. I always thought it was a lighter shade?

Any pictures of your upholstery done from reproduction patterns? Interesting to see how it compares with original ?
