Hi guys, thanks Everyone for all the info on the purple leather interior!
Mark and Lillian please look up the address for the hides and dyesas I am
pursuing all avenues (even talking to my dad who had used my Grandfathers
Singer once upon more than a few moons ago as to what is wrong with it!). It
is not an Imperial but the GTO convert I have did not have a back seat when
I got it. I had a buddy with a frame for his convert and he loaned it to me
for a pattern and was able to shorten a regular hardtop seat to work
perfectly! If some one can furnish you with pictures and measurements I can
not see why a coupe seat couldn't be made to work(I don't think a 4 door is
close enough[at least on other cars, I must qualify this with my newness to
Imps!]). Remember these cars were made to be mass produced and it costs
money to make too many changes! Thanks again Guys-n-Dolls Thad
