where can i find the closest match for the upholstery material for the seat of my original 36 packard 120 sedan

i am not endorsing this product except to mention that a friend has one. check out caswell plating supplies. he had beautiful results. now your not trying to do a bumper, but with the detail stuff, it turns out great. and very affordable.

there is no subsitute for original fasteners. the tumble method for cleaning works best after they are disassembled. to get them apart try this little trick. mix acetone and automatic transmission fluid 50/50. stir and put in a squirt oil can or plastic spray bottle. you will never waste your money on other penetrants again. after all is disassembled, cleaned and dry, invest in a plating kit available thru a good jewelry supplier. you can plate in zinc, cadmium, nickle and chrome. its not as expensive as ya think.

i love the cruises. i recently purchased an all original 41,000 mile 36 packard 120 sedan. i usually show up cruisin in one of many different makes, but i cannot wait for next summer to roll around. this car will be a ride beyond anything ive owned so far.
