1951 seats
« on: April 15, 2018, 11:35:45 PM »
Does anyone know how to get the patterns for the seats? I would like to get some covers made.
Thank you.

When you say "covers" do you mean seat covers or actual upholstery?

I want to replace the seat covers with factory spec covers.

Kaiser-Frazer seats were originally upholstered but they also offered seat covers in satin or straw matting in blue, green or maroon colors.  Some styles of original upholstery cloth is available from SMS Upholstery in Oregon.  If you send them a sample of your upholstery material or send them the upholstery code number from your fire wall data plate they can send you a sample of what they have to offer.  Original upholstery material is hard to find and expensive when you find it.

Shawn - if your seats are currently upholstered, you already have the patterns. Once you choose the material, an upholsterer will know what to do!
