Ford Galaxie The Ford Galaxie has effortless V8 performance, bulletproof mechanicals and great value make 30-year old Galaxie increasingly desirable with true-blue collectors. Size has everything to do with the on-going appeal of these cars. Although the newest are now more than 30 years old, a well-maintained Galaxie offers comfort and performance to rival cars half its age.

Default Replacement seat upholstery????
I'm looking for a source for new seat upholstery.

I have a 65 500 LTD with the cloth seats. The front still has the dealer add on clear vinyl protector cover. The cloth has started to tear in a couple of places. I can find all the vinyl covers you want but I'm having trouble finding the oem style replacements. Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks

Dearborn Classics has upholstery kits and so does Dennis Carpender.

If the old Ford parts suppliers don't have the cloth, do some googling for World Upholstery Products or Automotive Upholstery Supplies. There is a company that supplies almost any material ever used in an automobile.

With material in hand, you can find a local automotive upholstery shop that can fix it up like original.

Good luck,

I'm looking for some temporary covers, until I can afford to do the seats right. What are some of those sources for vinyl covers?

Mac's antique car parts. They have a range of free catologs from model a fords on up. I'll have to do some checking on the other sources as I didn't really pay a lot of attention to them for I was looking for cloth.

Also I'm not sure that the vinyl is a replacement for the cloth. I don't know if the seat frame/cushion was the same for cloth and vinyl. It probably is but I can't be for sure.

Hope this helps.

If you run across cloth in your search please let me know where.

Thanks

I've bought some covers from them before and they fitted nicely and looked pretty good. Have a decent number of options...

SMS also does interiors. Work is supposed to be excellent, lead time is not so great and they are not cheap.
