Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

Two different questions for the group:

1. Anyone have a resource for matching or purchasing new seat material? I haven't been able to find a match to make a matching slipcover for front seat (not redoing) my survivor car to minimize wear.

2. I started stripping the seats of my "rough" Packard and just cleaning and sorting the bits and pieces for future reference and while the seat material matches my other car, there's a burlap type material that was in the car that I am wondering if it was some inner layer of the headliner? It's a bit intricate to be covered but my other car has more of a suede/felt like material. The car in question is older Jan-Mar 39.

I've attached pics of both for reference.

Have you tried SMS is Oregon? They have about everything with some NOS and some reproduction.

The search doesn't yield results but I haven't contacted them to check. I'll try contacting them. Thanks.

I'd also try Hirsch

SMS is linked in my post to their site.

I was meaning the site's year and make search on the fabric not the URL. I can't remember if I checked Hirsch but I may have done that one already. Thanks.

Write or call them as few online catalogs are ever kept up to date. SMS has just about every fabric imaginable and can’t possibly catalog it all online.

Also, SMS will send you some sample swatches if you call them and tell them what car you have and generally what pattern and color you are looking for.
