Title: Burgundy Dragon Interior, 1953
Post by: pjkaiser on June 30, 2015, 07:06:04 PM

The interior on 1953 Kaiser Traveler Deluxe is original and will need replacing in some spots.   Is there any material left for replacement??    I fear there is not since when it was restored around 20 years ago, they just restiched the old material.

Check with SMS for new material.

I got SMS Dragon a few years ago--close, but no cigar.

Here is a 51 Dragon with a nice clean interior. Lot cheaper than SMS ))

I wonder what it might cost to have a quantity of this material made.  There seems to be a lot of demand.  I would consider underwriting some of the cost if it would be feasible.

It is already being made by SMS.
Are you asking about a different version?

I was told that it is not an exact match so I sent them a swatch of my material.  They sent me what they had.  It was close but not a match.
