Frazer Forum / Re: Widths of the seats for a '51 4-dr?

« on: October 10, 2013, 02:18:34 AM »

I have a set of NOS seats here and mine measure 63" wide by 12" high (at their highest point) and about 22" deep. My seats have the standard material on them...some of the Frazers used fancier material and stuffing so yours may be slightly larger. This should, however, give you some idea as to size.

I read somewhere that it takes around 9-10 yards of material to do the seats and doors. Hopefully someone else can verify that number.

Hi Joe!

Thank you for the additional information.

We have obtained some very nice vinyl and are thinking of sewing in some cloth inserts where the seating would be. These dimensions you've provided will most certainly help us in our plans.

Are You looking for original material or something of proper weight in a color you like?  Original fabric is available.

Thank you for the reply.

My wife Alina, and I have an almost completely gutted interior with merely metal frames remaining for the seats so, we are thinking of something "home-spun" and will probably do something a little custom with matching door panels as they too are almost completely gone.  We have some nice colors and patterns in mind but I think it would be great to see what the originals may have looked like.

Frazer Forum / Widths of the seats for a '51 4-dr?

« on: September 19, 2013, 12:05:52 PM »

Hello all,

I am needing the dimensions and widest portion of the bench seats used in the '51 Frazer.
Anyone have those on hand?

My wife and I are in Houston and looking at some fabrics for re-upholstering these seats.

Which leads me to another question:
Approximately how many yards would do a complete re-upholster job? I might also include something for the door panels.

Does anyone have some photos of an interior that may help us? Our's is totally shot.

Alina and Ralph M Bohm

SMS is in Canby Oregon. Almost Washington.

...  Posting the numbers and headers off the firewall body tag and the serial number (with the "F" prefix) from the door post tag would be helpful.

Thanks for the info. Now I better know what to look for, I will check it out once I am back in the country.

Parts For Sale & Wanted / Have a '51 Frazer - looking for an interior...

« on: June 26, 2013, 05:02:40 PM »

Hello all,

I've acquired this '51 Frazer from Ken Taplin here in Maine and it needs a full interior. I thought I'd begin looking for an interior for the ole car. Anyone have any spare interiors?  :-)

I am open to any color scheme and anything with good hardware. I assume I will go to an upholsterer to do restoration on the seating but for now, what I have are merely frames for both front and back seats. I am also open to possible non-stock parts and seating.  When I get a chance, I will take a few photos of the existing interior to give you all an idea of what I have to work with.

Frazer Forum / '51 Frazer Interior images showing the door "Buttons" anyone?

« on: April 07, 2012, 01:38:01 PM »

Hi all, 

I did a little searching on "GoogleImages" as well as here for images of the interior of a '51 Frazer to get a better idea of what they look like inside but to no avail.
 
Would anyone here like to post one or two images and particulary one or two showing the inside door "buttons" used to open the doors?

Ralph

Here are some pic of my 1951 Frazer sedan. All original with 43K miles, mint interior.


Mark

Can you show a pic or 2 of the interior you say is mint? I'd like to see the door buttons.

I see now that it's definitely a gas tank.  I don't know, it just looks tempting to me to get.  I know I could certainly sink a lot of $$$ into it, but save another Frazer, right?  He said he has the hubcaps--I assume this means all 4, but I'll have to ask him about that and some other things.  The other thing is that it's in Oregon and I'm in Texas.  I've had cars hauled before, but that just means I'll need to tack on additional costs to the whole project.

Hello Logan,

Did you ever get this '51 Frazer?

A quick update:

I just spoke with my fiancee and she sees no problem with coming out on Saturday to look at the '51 Kaiser Frazer in Blue Hill and, if there are no unforeseen circumstances barring her from driving over - can get with you as to a good time for both to view it. If that is okay with you, please PM me with a time.
