Re: [FWDLK] Clear seat covers wanted

[Jan & Roger van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Myself, I'd love to have a set of clear plastic seat covers with the knobby 
embossed pattern like Fingerhut used to make.  They aren't exactly "cool" as 
in temperature, but they're cooler than flat plastic, and they are "cool" 
looking on a fifties car.

Most of the FL cars had crappy cloth upholstery, sometimes crappy and 
pretty, sometimes crappy and ugly like my '55 DeSoto, but always crappy. 
The rare exceptions I remember are the '57 Dodges, '55 Dodge Custom Royal 
Lancers, and some '56 DeSotos.  It wasn't a matter of price either; some 
high end cloth didn't wear well.
