Great story about the journey, Larry. One source for original seat fabric and vinyl is SMS Auto Fabrics, http://www.smsautofabrics.com/ here in Portland, Oregon. They have an amazing stock, and I've always walked out of there w/the exact OEM stuff. Thanks for sharing the event.

Will you be able to match the upholstery material? All the best, Darryl ('76 NYB, '77 NYB) I am pretty confident I can match it here in Oz but if I can't I = will get it from the States. Richard Burgess has sources as he has = already been through what I am doing on his 1960 Crown. Regardless. I = will get it. Larry B
