Hi -
If you are on a budget and want a good-looking although not
necessarily OEM seat cover, the non-OEM seat covers sold by companies such
as Automotive Interiors and Accessories are a good alternative. At least 15
years ago I purchased such a set for my 65 Bel, since sold, from a different
company but with the same product line. You can choose the base and insert
colors, which I did to reasonably match the original door panel color
scheme. The vinyl material and colors are universal so I was able to match
the boot cover exactly many years after I bought the seat covers. Replacing
with OEM covers that have bolsters (most OEM bucket seats) often means that
new custom-made foam is required . I didn't need to do this with the
aftermarket covers - I purchased standard foam and trimmed it as needed.
While the covers were not quite as good-looking as OEM, nobody but a Mopar
aficionado ever noticed they were not OEM. I needed a lot of things on the
car at the time so I could not spend a fortune on OEM seat covers. It was a
good decision for me. A picture of the interior is attached. You can see
how the door and seat inserts are pretty well matched in color and pleating.

Subject: OEM style seat covers?
Hi all,
A fellow asked me for suppliers of OEM style seat covers for his Mopar. I
know vendors have some with NOS fabric, but what about vendors selling more
generic seat covers for classic cars?
Here are the vendors listed on the 62-65 site:
* EZ Boy Interiors (now part of the LeBaron Bonney Company)
* Aftermarket seat covers, mostly plaid vinyl patterns, Ken in NY
* Automotive Interiors & Accessories, vendor in Mass.
Does anyone know of other vendors selling OEM style seat covers for 62-65
Moaprs? Bench seat style.
Thanks,
Gary H.
