Seat Covers?

I have a completely original Packard 200, 1951 model and am looking for seat covers to protect the original fabric. Does anyone have original seat covers for sale or know where to buy reproductions if anyone is even making them? I’m trying to stay period correct if I can! However, I’ve got to put some in regardless so any help is appreciated!!! I would also completely cover the seats in plastic if I can find someone who can do this work? Thank you!

No one reproduces them; I am sure NOS ones have been hunted to extinction.

But you can probably find some generic aftermarket ones that generally fit. If you can't find anything for a 1950s full-size bench seat, check for full-size trunk bench seat.

Otherwise, it would be having a local upholstery shop make something up.

SMS could probably whip something up if your wallet is bursting from excess cash on hand.

Otherwise I would contact your local upholstery shop as Kev said.

You could also contact the Studebaker Museum for drawings. The part numbers are in the accessories manual.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/partslist4854/48-54_Accessories.pdf

I saw these on ebay but might be cheaper to get someone to make to exact fit. I actually found and bought the narrowest clear vinyl NOS seat covers (~52 inches) I could find for my 39 for the cushion part of my front to minimize wear on the rips on the driver's side (I need to trim/stitch to fit better). I assume you want a full seat cover but if you wanted a clear vinyl seat back I am not going to use that part so I'd let you have it for shipping. I won't be at Hershey but if some people I know are going I could send it with them or someone heading through Atlanta could take it the rest of the way.
